I think I go with the #2.
But they didn't have that option. The movie is still better than anything you could name today.

Here you have an comparisation of the real 109E and the "109E" shown in BoB:
I know full-well what a real one looks like - I've been a fan since long before you were born. How many real ones are available for film-work today? The same is true of the Heinkels, but at least besides the engines they are real He-111s, and they had enough of them to make a full formation.

The same is also true of Tora! Tora! Tora!. The planes are all converted AT-6s, and anyone who knows anything knows what a real A6M, D3A and B8N look like; but the conversions were done by Mitsubishi, and look as close as a replican made that way can.

Have you seen Dark Blue World?

I'm gonna go watch Battle of Britain again. At least the aerial scene where they're bombing the airfield. Wonderful stuff.
