Did anybody catch this chronological anachronism? Here's a photo of the Yakota Tony wearing a pre-1947 color scheme with a Sabre behind it that didn't enter service til 1949, and didn't see Asia til 1950.
And I thought Photoshop was a modern invention!

I think the airframe in the picture is the one repainted by Tokyo Aviation High-school students in 1963 as I saw it as a kid in the same year.
As it was painted in light grey, I remember I thought it was funny because original color scheme could be bare metal. Yes, it was corrected so 50 years later.
