If it's a triangle, it's a fill-spout indicator, meaning behind this removable patch you can fill up precious fluids. The one you're thinking of is fuel. It's yellow. Some red ones are for oil (and are located on the nose instead of the fuselage). There is a number inside the triangle for the fuel required of this plane, B2, C3, etc.

OK, but is it in the right spot in the second pic where you can not see it on the first pic.  and what is that marking slightly being cover by the "3" in the first pic, top right?

Can you copy/paste the URL of the images in question?? I'm not sure what you're asking about.

I don't think that's a very good representation of the aircraft in it's WW2 state. It's a frankenstein made from spare parts after the fact.

If you're talking about the small blue circle on the starboard side (and the smaller red one next to it) they are power connectors so that the aircraft can have power while on the ground, and to recharge batteries and whatnot. Although, these seem to have been less visibly marked in later planes and on a G14 they wouldn't show up like that at all.

As for the position of the fill point, this moved from plane to plane, it would be one place on a D, another on an E-4, another on an F-4, etc. It is possible they just took any old tail/fuselage structure and tacked it onto this plane, or even used another plane fuselage to recreate the G14, and that could mean it's not really a G14.

In short: The skin has the position correct, from what I've seen in other places.

Yea, i notice the "3" was red not green.  But on the fill point, i notice some G-14 are in one place and other s farther down the fuselage.

Here is what i am talking about. What is that marking?


Would that marking be this marking below?



Would that marking on the first pic be what is on this skin profile?


And this skin profile.

Funny thing about those decals.... It should only be on one side of the fuselage. Lol!

The fourth pic in black and white.  Right above the "3" you will see a tirangle marking.  They have it on both sides of the AC, where it should only be on one side.
