I have a number of Hurricane references, but here are the two best, IMO.

The Squadron book has all the little drawings and things clearly labeled and explained for all the variations of antenna, prop, gun bays, exhausts, etc - for every version .... and it's pretty inexpensive.

And this very oldie is the absolute best reference on camo & markings, but only in NW Europe. It covers all the variations in the early days - with explanations, photos, color and b/w drawings.

Is there any indication of RAAF colors being used by Hurricanes in the SEAC? Some photos that I have seen shows colors a little darker than the standard dark earth and dark green.
