Is there any way to actually "follow" a project?

Łukasz Gliński
Tricky question, once you posted in a topic, you'll be notified once anybody else wrote anything. But unfortunately not in case of new pics 🙁

Clean work on this big bird!👍

Łukasz Gliński
Very neat, is mottling paintbrushed or sprayed? 👍

Cuajete
Very nice. Congrats!

The painting of the bottom of fuselage is done with a stencil?

Nathaniel Swift
The fuselage mottling was done with a paintbrush and paint thinned a little less than it would be to for airbrushing. I spread painting out over a few days to minimize developing a pattern so it stayed more random.

Thank you. The wingspan is about 23 inches.

David Januska
Wow, nice and huge bird. It looks absolutely amazing👍. Perfect job. I know how long it could be creating such a camo. But I've tried it on FW 189, this one is far away bigger.
