a/c replacement vs production rate

Can someone please explain this distinction? Thanks.

Allied production comes from on map factories. Not that you can change them. Not sure if they follow aircraft upgrade psths if you take ALL of a model out of service. Replacements are off map production that are not susceptible to Japanese interference.

By taking a model out of service I mean upgrading every airgroup on map so that no-one is flying it any more. It then disappears from the upgrade menu. I am not sure if having a reinforcement group somewhere in the pipeline (eg the China Command P40E group that turns up in about 1944?) keeps the model in the game.
