Actually I never use UV's on any of my planes. Just normal mapping modes like Planar and Cylinder. For doing the maps it doesn't matter much though. Its just a background image that you paint over. I wouldn't have done the stencil on the wings. It gives the color for the camo there a very hard edge and while it looks like a good idea you then have to make 2 maps for the wing and worry about getting the panel lines and rivets to match up on the diffrent surfaces. It CAN be done that way but it involves Alpha maps to blend the surface etc.. Its easier to do it Planar through Y.
