And few more info about this blue product? Some kind of Future?

No, absolutely not. It's a product for washing the windows, that contains some isopropylic alcohol. Identifiable because of blue color; you can found it in drugstores or supermarkets.
More than a washing product, it is the perfect product to dilute the Vallejo colors and Citadel colors; and his blue color don't alterate the paints.

Yesterday I constated I was missing a detail... So today I corrected that.

First photo is not a snow cristal, just a propeller with masking tape... 
...And the second one is the result! I've used Oily Steel from Vallejo.

Well, time to go to bath...

I've constated that the glue of the tape let some traces on the glossy paints of the kit. So, I washed it with blue product for windows and Q-tip...

A little bit of Vallejo Oily Steel (I prefer that to aluminium or silver...)

Hhhhmmm- is this really problems? I am not sure that WW1 paints are opaque covering quality but your solution is fine

The lack of opacity was not really a problem; but the partial white border was one... Anyway, there was a solution

I've begun to place the decals. And here, I had a bad surprise...

That was not visible on the decal sheet, but the roundels of the fuselage had a little partial border of white. More than that, the white of all the roundels was not completely opaque; it is as if there was a problem when produced.

As I have a good reserve of WWI decals (a gift of Philippe jourdan), I searched in my stock for Americal Gryphon RAF cockades; but I discovered... A complete decal sheet of the first release of the DH2 Profipack! So Philippe, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

So, I have replaced the decals (I had to replace also the cockades of the wings, because a little difference in the blue color of the two decal sheets) and here is the actual situation...
