How about the nose and the other color.

That's a tough one.
By the looks of many of the other rockets in the catalog, they were heavily airbrushed to give the appearance of a smooth finish. That squared area on the fins could have been added to the photograph.
Chances are, that started as a black and white photograph and was airbrushed in gray tones.
Unless somebody who was actually there producing the catalog chimes in, it's tough to tell.
Reds will photograph as black or a very dark gray in a black and white picture.
I would guess the Bertha is white and black or whtie and red.
Good luck with this one! |
