I attach a couple of files for your use. a text file and a screenie....
One --the text file--is the list of planes and sqns and codes of the WP Hurricane profiles, the other is the DAF Hurricane IID of RAF 6 Sqn, Egypt, JV-Z, BP118. The old Frog model had the same decals and I had built it. The decals had been done of Richard "Dick" Ward, who later made the excellent MODELDECALS sheets of decals and who was an expert in markings and colors in the UK and world-wide. Hannanst sold them and a small model shop in downtown Portsmouth, named MODELTOYS, run by Dick's partner, where I often had coffee during my stay.
One year, I went fishing with him in the English Channel off Portsmouth, from 6 am to sunset and almost froze to death, bu we talked all those of hours of aircraft and makrings and I learned a lot.
I even caught a codfish, just one. It was a couple of days after Christmas. Dick lived at Fairford at the time. I was staying with a ROAYLA NAVY Fleet Air Arm dentist and his wife, in Southsea, the posh part of Portsmouth. Two weeks there. And Dick Ward is not to be confused with Richard Leask Ward who painted profiles with non-digital means like paintbrushes and airbrushes and pens.
They are two different people, but similarly motivated. Dick Ward often went to RAF Germany and to French bases to see the aicraft up close and measure and take photos for his markings.
Repainters can go to town with those many pages of profiles and most marks exist for CFS2.

Gaucho--in case you read this:
The DAF Hurri is a repaint made straight from the profile of Richard Leask Ward. I have the book.
