I just picked this grouping up today. Very excited to be the new caretaker . Should be a fun research project

 

The A2 is a stunner! Great painting all around . I found a little snippet about the dog in "The Mighty Eighth in Color" by Roger A Freeman

 

The bomb tags are killer as well, they tell quite the story!

Wow! His RAF type C helmet looks in incredible shape. What a fantastic group. Thanks for sharing it with us!

The yellow paint on the bombs seem to match the yellow lettering and background surrounding the depiction of Rusty. Based on that I'd wager it's all original and was cared for extremely well.

Great A-2. I agree with the above post that it is original paint that has been protected and cared for well over the years. Mission tags are a nice touch as well!
