Thanks guys!
Interestingly enough, one of the resources that I've found for Blue 16 says that the dark green is factory applied. The instructions for AVIPRINT decal 48005 says, "The fuselage sides were sprayed by darker green color during production forasmuch the bulkhead numbers are written atop this color." I couldn't confirm this info (it cites Japo Publishing's 109K Camo & Marking book as a reference) and can't discern any stenciling in the dark green area per the picture. Black stenciling doesn't show up on the dark green I've painted anyway so I've left those lower stencils off.
John, the field-applied paint, I assume, would be the dark green stuff that you've added at the rear fuselage. I would therefore consider not adding the stencils for the frame numbers, the step on the port side, and any others located in these oversprayed areas. I think the fuel triangles tended to be reapplied, as it was important that the right fuels be used.
Looking very good.
