This airplane is 7/8ths scale, bonus points if you can guess which part of the country said fighter defended by its paint scheme.

Is Blooz right? Something spoke DeHavilland to me. I was also guessing northern France. Side note, where would one buy a 7/8th scale plane? Did not even know they made something like this.

Take off the upper wing, and it looks alot like a small hurricane to me.
