Hurricane p3731

hello dears.

i am planning on building arma hobby 1/72 Hurricane p3731, as per their instructions this plane in Malta had black and white underside, can anyone pls point me to any reference that can confirm that this paint scheme was used in Malta during 1940?.

Thank you

Interesting. This is what AeroMaster has to say..."Hawker Hurricane Mk I P3731 flown by Pilot Officer "Jock" Barber of the Fighter Flight at Hal Far in August of 1940. Finish is dark earth/middle stone over azure blue with a black spinner. Markings consist of type B roundels for the upper wings, type D roundels for the lower wings, type C roundels for the fuselage, a black serial number, a fin flash and a white letter J squadron code. These markings are the same as provided by Hasegawa in their 1/48 scale Hurricane Mk 1 Trop kit . There is a photo of the aircraft in "Hurricanes over Malta" I'll PM it to you but nothing will be decided.
