I would be interested in seeing those photos with the RGB calibration!

I've been to the Museum twice and have many pictures of Strawberry Bitch.
Problem I have with that plane is...
1. The Museum interior lighting is dark and could be casting an odd colour onto that aircraft.
2. Flash and long exposure photography also doesn't do the colour any justice.
3. If the paint is as pink as it looks, I think it has been deliberately tinted that way to accentuate the "pink" legend.

*the two photos I took (attached) show an almost "bubblegum" pink
...and we know this colour is not accurate.

Although I love the idea of restoring these aircraft for flight and display, I rarely agree with the accuracy of
colours and markings on these planes. I prefer historical facts, data and if possible, actual photographic evidence.
In this case, such photographic evidence just doesn't exist.
I think the wreckage of LBG might be the closest thing to evidence.
And its not bubblegum pink!
