Nice looking Buffalo, Alistair. Well done!
Many Thanks
Alistair @alistairfgauld, what an impressive build. How on earth did you do that beautiful and delicate canopy?! The paint scheme is beautiful with the subtle weathering, love it.
Thanks very much.
Tamiya give you a mask set for it but you have to cut them out yourself.
I transferred the mask to my Silhouette cutter and cut my own masks from that.
Very nice Buffalo in ML-KNIL livery!
The Dutch used to call this aircraft just Brewster, the British called it Buffalo though.
Thanks very much.
Excellent job as usual, Alistair! This is a super looking Buffalo!
Thanks Spiros.
Lovely Buffalo - I don't remember seeing one in Dutch colors, but now I may have to add another project to my builds!
Thanks Greg,
I was going to go with the box art but when I saw this one I had to do it.
Great work Alistair!
Many Thanks
Your usual excellent work Alistair and a great result.
Thanks very much Tom,
Well done!
Thanks so much
Wonderful result Alistair @alistairfgauld! 👍 And, somewhat a departure for you, from 1/72 isn't it? This one is a beauty to behold! 🍻
Thanks so much,
I will shift scales when it's something I fancy doing.
I do have a few 1/48 and 1/32 kits awaiting them being done.
Beautiful Buffalo, Alastair, the canopy on its own is a masterpiece.
Thanks very much
Excellent work, Alistair.
Many thanks.
One fine looking Buffalo, Alistair @alistairfgauld
Your work on the canopy, like the rest as well, is fantastic.
I do have this same kit approaching the finish line and it is indeed a nice kit to work on.
Thanks very much.
It is a very nice kit, especially when you consider it's age.
Will look forward to seeing yours when it's finished.
Cool, I've always liked those Dutch Buffalos. I've got one in the stash also planned as a Dutch bird. Someday.
Yours turned out great Alistair. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Thank you very much.
