Spectacular!  Far better than any of the decals I've seen for this plane.
Cheers,
Bud

I couldn't agree more. I think he may even look nicer that what was on Jacobs' real aircraft.

Really looking super! I was impressed that it is hand painted but did I get it right that you are using Drooling Bulldog paints? I didn't think they were conducive to hand painting.

I thank for support! The main color fields are made "Drooling Bulldog" paints, volume by oil paints has been given then.

The dog and cart will make for a nice vignette when the aircraft is finished!

Agreed! Ondra may have made the masks but your hand painting is incredible!

Combination of masks and handpainting is amazing!  Way better than decals. 

Just had my first experience with drooling bulldog paint. Wasn't planning on trying another kind (mrp, Tamiya, alclad, valejo already on shelf) but they were the only ones that made Pfalz silvergrey. Was really happy with the way they sprayed.  Nice to know they may be brushable as well if I need to touch up.
