James "Cobber" Kain´s Hurricane Mk I - what wing?

[Olas]

Hi folks,
as I wanna build Hurricane Mk I of James Kain, coded P and named "paddy III" I would like to know some more of look of this bird.
I have got a kit from Sword which included fabric covered wing only.
In instructions of this kis there is camouflage of Kains Hurri, but it is different from that one which was noticed at Replic. Also, Replic declared Kains Hurri as with metal wing, wih S/N L1808, whereas Sword´s instruction reads fabric wing with S/N L1766. Osprey "Hurricane Aces 39-40 and Polis AJ Press declare S/N of Kain Hurricane as "unknown"..
Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks a lot..

Nazdar Olas,

here's a readme of one of my skins I did for EAW. The info is taken from "Hurricane Monography" by Jozef Wrobel (or I think so... ):

Olas,

Did you ever discover the s/n of Cobbers "Paddy III"
I did find this ( Incident Hawker Hurricane Mk 1 P2543, 26 Mar 1940 ) but its still not clear as its thought "Paddy II was an early L prefix Hurricane.

Very interested in what you might have discovered.
