Re: Nice video.

@ raveniz, all

You are all not paying attention. the tail fin is not CGI. It is pre-painted. Notice during the tail end of the video when they mask the aircraft for painting, its completely covered. Could be that while they can easily paint the fuselage and wings, it might not be cost effective to rig a painting gun to go as high. Or it may just be cheaper to have them painted during the assembly of the stabilizer.
