Another very good point. It was supposed to be like this on the original scheme, and even some late aircraft exhibit this feature whereas some, even early ones, do follow the panel line. I don't know but it might depend on where the aircraft was built. Again, once they left the factory and were serviced and repainted anything could happen.\ said:Also intertesting to note that the demarcation between upper and lower camoflage does not follow the panel line below the engine but takes a direct line from the spinner to the wing root.
Here's a late mark Spitfire with a straight(ish) demarcation not following the panel line.
And an early one where the demarcation does follow the line.
There really is no substitute for a decent photograph
