There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

That is very nice.

Also does the hurricane have a slightly yellow (almost cream colour) under side because the Spitfire does (or atleast some of them), i just thought i would mention that.

I think the colour your refering to is duck egg blue, a greeny light blue type colour, or at least that's the only one I can think of, the other of the time being half black half white... (Someone's bund to correct me...)

The colour i am on about is the colour of the Spitfire in Ozzy's sig. If you look at the nose it has a creamy yellow colour it also has that underneath.

Mmm, I think its just down to the quality of the photo. I think one in Ozzy's sig was taken in 1941 or 1942 I think (is it 303 Sqn? - its a well known picture and the aircraft is the subject of the Airfix 1/72nd Spit V kit, or was in the mid 90's at least). The spinner colour should be the same as the one in Ozzy's little pic, which seems either white, or very close to white (same with the band around the rear of the fuz). By that time the undersides were painted gray...

Here is the color I used for undersurfaces, common for RAF fighters late 30's untill after B.O.B

I have looked around for some more modern pictures and have found some of the Hurricane showing it is white as well as the spitfire, but the hurricane more so. However under low light the colour appears more of a cream colour.

The blue colour ones are seafires.

Ok yes the color Cam. grey was used also as a underside color but Duck Egg Blue was also used on land based fighters. I reaserched this particular airframe GZ T p5322 and the in this case D.E.B. was used as illustarted on VY U, v6611 shown here . (when completed project is posted a few notes from my reasearc will acompany, pilot and arcraft history and fate)Also there were two camaflage schms. as well. I am attempting to repaint as many 32 sqadron, Hawkenge Hurricanes as I can research.
