RTO non-painted, interesting, many thanks spotterxfw... Fantastic pictures also! MSN147(EK) had its CFF unpainted, would MSN161 follow the same way?...

I'm wondering why MSN161 seems to be in a hurry like this, BAW should not need that frame before the second half of September...

I would really like to know why some frames have their CFF before being painted ... Is there an occasional bottleneck in the paint shop ?

That's only the second time occuring (first was MSN147), and paint shop has always been (from time to time) some kind of difficult step before roll out... Could it be even harder these days maybe with one of the 2 paint shops unavailable?....

I think since the paint doesn't do much to the frames ability to fly they don't really mind when they paint it and just do when there's a free space in the paintshop. I didn't know yet that only 1 paintshop is available. Why that?

Paintshop for such a big plane is not so easy with all the "ecology" involved.
I have read a long article about setting up paintshop in OSR (for up to 321 size) and it was very complicated and investment in many millions..
