Thanks, my friends.
Show must go on. The unlucky Academy Mustang is on its best way to be painted again.
The Me 262 is filled and will be sanded today. At Work in the proto shop, once the colleagues will left the plant...

I like what is happening, and your courage with stripping the finish from the Unlucky One has paved the way for me to do something similar. I like the looks of the Me 262 a lot. Are you going to do something special for its finish? I remember seeing a build by Samson Wu of White 13 (Trumpeter 1/32) that I wondered about doing in 1/48, but to see White 13 rendered in 1/72 would be a testament to some serious skills, which you definitely have. I feel close kinship with your approaches to these designs and your execution is incredible.

Small news today:
1. The unlucky Academy Mustang is now ready to be repainted. Some hours of polishing are behind us.
2. Matchbox's Me 262 is waiting for new paint to be arrived.
3. My FW 190 is waiting for preparation to be colored. Polishing is missing and some RLM colores as well.

And Bruce, nothing special just doing the red X from KG 51 Edelweiss as provided in the box.

After another accident on Tuesday with a broken seam in the fuselage halfs I was today able to prime the Mustang and to airbrush her with Vallejo Metallics Chrom.
