Thanks for posting. Some interesting visuals considering the faded film but I'm struck by the apparent rusty exhaust stacks on several of the Spitfires. This use to be thought of as the must-do colour for modelers and in some cases instructions still call for that. I think that the use of a rust colour for stacks has fallen out of favour in recent times but there is clear evidence in this film that it was indeed possible to see this effect.

One question is, relative to the cover artwork, is that the Wingco's Black Lab Sally?

Is it really original "colour", or was it black and white film that was "Colourized" at some point in the past?

I suspect that if it was a colorized B&W film it would look a whole lot better than it does now.

Good one!

Taking a quick look -- many parts have particular hallmarks of being colourized by an AI algorithm.
