Talking of rocket rails, i watched a very good documentary on Amazon prime last night called Typhoon at war. A new program dated 2025.
Very much recommended
one guy on there fired 4 salvos of 2 rockets at a train from above/behind
and he hit it but the train was going round quite a bend and all 4 salvos hit it right round the bend , pretty good aiming

ZX-6 is the popular go too version from Tamiya and pacific coast and eduard
My doubts are based on the camo and condition. , My guess is these are over painted green and grey models and i suspect the effect of sand blasting from the prop and sand meant that they started off scruffy and ended up....scruffier if thats a word. I do wonder about colours as well as all we have are colourised pictures by people trying to be clever who probably had no idea what the proper colour really was.
My theory is that a lot of Spitfires were really rough especially over seas ( in the field) and not the very smart aircraft we see now in original factory pictures and modern restorations. Most had a life span of about 50-100 hours and were pretty much disposable.
Interesting that in the typhoon Doc last night they didnt repair aircraft they just took a new one as there were so many spare however there was an engine shortage so they did save the engines and put them in new airframes. In other words they had way more airframes than engines. And that is one of the reason only one Typhoon survives today, they were basically disposable. The one that did survive was in the USA conducting armament trials.

Will check that out Paddy. Thanks.
Regarding the Typhoon. It's kinda like the Hellcat in the Pacific. don't recall what book but it spoke to the practice that if a Hellcat got banged up either in combat or landing they would just pitch it over and have a new one brought up from the jeep carriers.
It is now!
