For Spitfire comments see: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=51271

I personally think the use of the Tilly by the RAF has been vastly overstated- and they didn't use any of the Austin ones, it seems.

I would go for a Airfix 1/32 MG or Blower Bentley, if you can find one- seems more appropriate for a Spitfire pilot. Alternatively, a bicycle or motorcycle would be interesting.
