That's awesome! I really love the Brewster Buffalo, especially in "yellow wings-style", and VF-2 "Flying Chiefs" are iconic in history.

It's always good to see more than one kit on the work bench and here we see several Brewster Buffalo models under way. These Yellow Wings markings are my favorite. This one should be in the headlines section soon by the looks of things. Thanks for supporting our Jim Sullivan group.

Thanks too Louis!
Guess it will be ready for the headlines in about a week or so.

canopy needed some minor sanding
painted it with Tamiya Aluminium in order to be able to do repainting and washing off if necessary

I really like how the tail color of Lemon Yellow looks when compared to the yellow that was used on the upper wing surfaces. It looks spot on to me ! These planes are SO cool. USMC Ace Pappy Boyington once said they could turn around inside a phone booth, talking about how maneuverable the early versions were before they started adding all of the armor and extra weight.
