I just can't help wondering about the discrepancies between the authenticated extant crosses and original photographs of 425/17. The crosses suggest the plane was simply a mess of a paint job, yet the photos seem to suggest otherwise. Surely the photography doesn't hide that much, or, conversely, the successive paint quality (from layer/revision to layer/revision) couldn't have been that poor to have worn or been preserved like that.

just a thought
