I wonder if it would be worthwhile for a movie company to paint the stand in aircraft with the profile of the type needed? In other words paint the profile of a Focke Wulf 190 over the Sea Fury leaving the non Focke Wulf outline some neutral color. Depending on how many seconds the aircraft was visible it might look more suitable. I remember seeing a pic. of a WW1 movie crash where they had painted the wire scalloped trailing edge on a hard trailing edge to make a Travel Aire look more like a Fokker.
