Here is an interesting Hurricane sheet that is dedicated to night fighters and night intruders. The recommended kits are from Hobbycraft and Hasegawa but I see no reason why the markings shouldn't also fit on the Monogram kit as well.

First is an all black Hurricane coded ZY*S. It is notable that the insignia and markings are much smaller than usual. The writeup says it is LK*A from 87 Sq, so I think that there has been a printing error.

From 1 Sq, comes the same plane in two different camouflage schemes. You can do JX*E in the all black scheme or with dark green/ocean grey over black scheme.

Finally, from 87 sq is LK*R in the ocean grey/dark green over black scheme. This scheme was used by most night intruder squadrons with the all black being mostly night intercept units.

Regardless of the scheme you choose, it will definitely be a bit different from the usual Hurricane!
