but is the model a night fighter? im confused

The Hurricane in the pic isnt the night fighter, its the BoB Gleed Hurricane. His night fighter was exactly the same just all black.

You'll find most squadron marking are the same -

Squadron codes followed by individual airplane code - this example being -

LK-A

LK being the code for 87 squadron and "A" being the aircraft code. This example being LK-A and on the other side A-LK.

Majority of others are identical though.

I've never really been to fussed for squadron markings to be honest.

But the Hellcat and the Gleed Hurricane are correct with their markings.

Others are the traditional - squadron code followed by individual airplane code on both sides of the fuselage.
