Graham Boak Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 If colourised it has been very cleverly done, with the Dark Green having moved towards more of a chocolate brown, as would happen with significant exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'd love to see the black and white photos they may set my mind at ease. However, just because a photo was published in black and white doesn't mean the originals weren't in colour or that colour film wasn't used at the same time. Also film of that era was very temperamental, I know we used a lot of Agfa film at air shows as it gave a nice sharp result but if I remember correctly it had a strong blue cast to it? Kodak film of the same subject was somehow muddier. Lets hope we get to the bottom of this mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I remember colour photos of BRMs on the front cover of Motor Sport in the early 1960s being a distinct (and rather attractive) shade of dark blue, as opposed to their real British Racing Green. Though apparently a somewhat distinct shade of BRG. So colour film showing green as bluer is by no means unheard-of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Printed reproductions of colour photos can be way off - I recall the flight of FAA Avengers on the cover of SAM that had a huge yellow cast - it wa sonly years later I saw an original copy of the print that showed the colours properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) What is the Cyberhobby 1/72 Venom NF.3 like as a kit, worth buying or major surgery required to make it look like an RAF Venom? Edited August 19, 2018 by Lord Riot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
