Both F.9/37s were finished in the fighter camouflage of the period, with dark green and dark earth top surfaces, silver under the tail surfaces, rear fuselage, and engine cowlings, matt black beneath the port wing, and white beneath the starboard wing.

The Peregrine engines greatly enhanced the F.9/37's lines, but the weight penalty incurred by this installation was detrimental to the aeroplane's performance. The main undercarriage doors were revised on L8002.

Although L7999 had red and blue roundels on the fuselage sides and on the upper wing surfaces, and L8002 had three-colour roundels in those positions, there were none on the wing undersides and no fin flashes. While L7999 had its serial number writ large under the wings, L8002 seems to have had only the rear-fuselage serials.
