Going to be doing the BBMF hurricane in its erroneous Jimmy Whalen scheme and need to home print the nose art, anyone have any idea what the nose art is supposed to be? Or got a good quality reference photo/profile pic?

Like you say, the scheme is erroneous,..... but here is the BBMF artwork;

Whalen-hurricane-iic-pz865-eg-s-34-sqn-s

 

Here is Whalen`s aircraft for real, HW840, coded S;

Whalen-hurricane-jimmy-whalen-HW840-S.gi

 

Here is his artwork on his Hurricane Mk.IIb in Ceylon,..... mayb it was the same as his last aircraft too?;

Techmod

I own their sheet and the artwork is different, though perhaps I could do a another print job if someone has a closeup photo and the techmod has the correct number of kill marks 

edit: not sure it is as I lost the decal itself to the dreaded folding and the decal guide was accidentally binned, maybe Ill order another copy of the sheet and see how close it is

According to Wojtek Matusiak's Zumbach Donalds ISBN 83-916229-4-0 there were 3 Mk. Vb with Donald Duck emblems: BM144 ( with 2 different emblems to complicate things), EP594 and EN951. Donald Duck emblems where getting bigger on each subsequent Spitfire.

New tool Revell's Spitfire Mk. Vb (03897) has decals for EN951.

EDIT: Just realized the picture you've attached is for replicated EN951.
