Hurricane Mk.IIb, Spitfire Mk.II, Mk.IX, Mk.XVI.

Spitfire Mk.II has NOT authentic camouflage (skin). The skin it has was used later, not during Battle for Britain.
The reason was the following:
In the begining of the game (Battle for Britain is the first chapter), we wanted to provide more differences for a new plane. The original skin was too close to Hurricane's, so the casual player probably wouldn't recognise, that he is now flying on a different plane (especially in arcade mode, where flight model is more forgiving).
The game appeals to both broad and hardcore audience. However, we were not able to make two assets for a game - we had limited resources.

I hope, that answers questions.

Thanks for the info Anton. Would it be possible to have the correct skins available in a download pack in the same way that you can get character skins for Little Big Planet?
