Hurricane IIc ID(?) light

[Scott Hemsley]

Quick question:  I'm currently working on the Arma Hurricane IIc and I was wondering if anyone could tell me the colour of the single ID(?) light on the fuselage underside, just to the rear of the radiator.  The kit provides a clear piece (T8), but no colour/tint callout.  I've a feeling that this should be an amber lens, but thought I'd check here first.  Any thoughts?

if only one light fitted, yes amber.

 

later on there was a switch to 3 light in a row, the BBMF flight Hurricanes have this, the centre light is still the amber one though.

and IIRC a photo an Iranian Hurricane, post war, on a test flight, shows these.

 

No idea when this changed, or why though.

Thanks, Troy.
