First one is strictly following the flag yellow as seen on the tail, the second one had a more 'Bf-109' colour for the yellow... | Airfix (1/72) made a kit with this decals in 1998.

Country:  | Clave, great job done. You know, I have almost a sentimental relatiinship with this one. It was the first fighter that Czech and Polish pilots flew in Great Britian in the Summer 1940 (Battle of Britian). My first skin was a Hurricane Mk.Ia. And it is my favorite plane of all time, too! 
You could be making skins!!! | |

Country: | Well, the most famous unit using NF Mk.IIc was probably the No. 1 Squadron RAF. The codes of this squadron were "JX" and color scheme was usual sea grey/green on upper surfaces, dull black (RLM2, if I rememebr well...  ) on lower surfaces. Eventually, the planes were all covered black...
See: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/sto...-bar-1602.html (S/Ldr Karel M. "Kut" Kuttelwascher, DFC&Bar)
If you want, I have a book about RAF nioghtfighters, can scan it or dig into it for any info you need. | |

Natural metal with RAAF PTO style roundels. Serial no. was V7476. It was tropicalised though so you would have to add a filter and what not.

Country: | Interesting...
I'm fairly happy with my 247 Sqn night fighter, but would like to find out more about :
Belgium
Netherlands
Yugoslavia
Norway
NB: The RAAF one seems to be green? or have I not found the right picture yet?

It arrived in Oz in standard RAF colours, was then painted foliage green and sky blue undersides with RAAF style roundels and finally silver with a red spinner. see here Aussie Modeller International
