Hi there!
Thanks for share the pics of the australian museum!!
I like very much the planes in original colour!!! Too much often the planes are violented with a re-painted, even when there's no needed! I think that, as an helmet, a plane is most beautyful in its paint, the original WWII colours, even if rusty or faded. These birds are fantastic, more and more interested that an airplane in a shining dress!!!
Many compliments, Frank Savage

It is very interesting and very rare to see a plane in its original colors... Note that the way the paint is applied doesnt look at all the same as one restored planes.
I hope it stays in its original colors, and doesnt fall into the hands of somebody wanting to "restore" it... As if taking away original paint to put on modern paint restores anything...
