It's not because of the ad, it's because they've been friends for a long time. I've known Miguel (Mig) since high school when we went to the same class in different classes. I was into basketball and he was into school, so I went to the "B" class while he went from "A" to "C" class. But during the playground and in the cafeteria we were always talking about WWII... When AK opened in Logroño, he invited me to the opening and I prefer to advertise AK than HP...Nice advertisement for AK paints!
Hello good friend, I understand that this is to check that the lines are drawn where they correspond, hence the measurements, here I put the measurements that are given with the vernier caliper (horizontal caliper) so that the measurement is more exact. I hope you tell me what you think and if I have to change them because they are out of dimensions, before continuing with the process, retouching the paint is easier than repairing decals.
This time I was away for reasons that are already known, you can't even imagine how much I missed this joy that you bring with your comments... I laugh a lot... it has so much shine that you can't see that it's a mustang!!! hahahanice bit of shine on it.
George, a very good friend... you are the one who sees everything in a good light... always so kind.Looking good

It's a pleasure to present your work this way, you learn and improve with each job... Thank you very much, I value and appreciate your appreciation and value very much. Also, the advice you give about leaving it at 2mm from the edge on the aileron and a little less than 1mm wide on the wings. As I plan to repeat it at 1/48, I assure you that this is already reflected in the file on the plane when I start the new one.Oh yes ... you painted the bands on the wings and the tail alomost fine. The differences are because of the dimensions you used. The orginal strips were of the 18 inches on the tail and the 15 inches on the wings. Because we don't use the measurment system I converted it into the decimal one and put them into the 1:72 scale. So the band width should be 18" - 45,7cm - 6,35 mm (~6,4mm) and the 15" - 38,1cm - 5,29mm (~5,3mm). The tail strips were painted 83,8cm from the stabilizer tip what is about 1,16cm ( 11,6mm) for the 1:72 scale while the wing strips were applied 38,1cm ( 15") (~5,3mm for the 1:72 scale ) from the line made by the outlets of the exhaust pipes but not from the fuselage or the wing root there.
In other words,
the tail bands are slightly too narrow 6,12mm while it should be 6,4mm. The distance from the stabilizer tip to the band should be 11,6mm but there is the 13,34mm.
the wing bands ... seem to be too wide. The 6.29mm fits rather the 18" but not the 15" (~5,3mm in 1:72).
However the differences in the width and locations may be not worth to limp through. I would leave them as these are.
