'Donald Duck' Spitfire

The 'Donald Duck' Spitfire was a Mk V Spitfire flown by the Polish fighter pilot Jan Zumbach. Actually, he flew three different Spits, all marked with his 'Donald Duck' emblem. 

I found out that one of these is available as a 1:72 model. And you sure know what happened next ...


And here is a picture of Jan Zumbach in the cockpit of one of the real 'Donald Duck' Spits.
