Nice experimentation..

Although I think it was sponged on the aircraft, so the real thing looks a bit blotchy. It's a very difficult finish to achieve and not look a mess!

I'm sure the neater flicking method will look best on the model..

Good luck!

very nice wings shading, Jacek!

I am not happy with the shading on the wings  :-\
I painted gently brighten color. I think right now it looks a little better.

Well, Jacek. At least in the photos the previous version was much more to my taste. Now it is overdone... But maybe in the reality it is better.

I'll think about it  ::)  Paint again the main color is not a problem  :D

That's looking really nice, Jacek, especially the wood grain on the fuselage.  It will nearly be a pity to hide it under green paint. :)

Cheers.

Very nice, Jacek!  The mottle finish looks fantastic.

Yep, good job Jacek

It tones down the wood effect nicely too..

Very very promising. Fine effect, Jacek!
But, again, forgive my being a continuous nuisance... My feeling of this camouflage is a bit different. Looking at the photo from the WNW website (hints and tips section) I tend to see a more pronounced mottle effect. I would add some more green specks.

Very nicely done Jacek, the mottle effect has been well executed, could be a little more pronounced but it does look fine the way it is.

Photo taken in close-up, it seems to me that there is sufficiently dots.
