It's your models and you should paint it how you want to. It is an artistic as much as a historical exercise.
If someone asks me what colours were used on an original aircraft I'm happy to give them the benefit of what knowledge I possess. I won't tell anyone how they should paint their model nor will I give unsolicited criticism if their interpretation doesn't match mine
BTW Dave some photo reconnaissance Spitfires were indeed painted 'pink' but the actual colour is only slightly off white. I believe that it was Edgar Brooks who reckoned that he could only see the pink hue in an original paint chip when it was placed on a white background.
