If you have a Spitfire and want to put kill marks on it, they usually used either German crosses or Swastikas near the cockpit.
If you want a kill mark that signifies a Spitfire was shot down, the Germans usually painted small black bars (about 1.5" wide x 4" high) on the fin or rudder with a British roundel on the top of it. However, this was not a "Spitfire specific" marking as it applied to all kills of British planes (Russian kills had red stars, US kills had a blue circle with a white star, you get the idea...) and not all pilots used the bars or the nationality designators.
Somehow, I get the feeling this has less to do with scale kill marks, and more to do with rubbing someone's nose in something...
