I know that there are factory applied markings on an aircraft and there are making applied in the filed. My question is which would have priority as far as what is on the plane when stenciling interferes with identification/unit marking. I just finished a 109E and the large round blue on the right side of the aircraft was smack in the middle of the double chevron. It would have covered half of it so I left it off. I am not even sure what that stencil was so should it have been there even if it covered the chevron? Would the chevron have covered part of the stencil?
Speaking of the particular blue stencil… and Luftwaffe fans know which 1 I mean and can tell me what it is… better yet… is there a web site that has stenciling translations?
