1/32nd Williams Brothers kit of the Gee Bee. Built many years ago. Painted by "rattle can".
Scallops were laid out with homemade stencils. Pinstripes were done using a french curve & draftsman's pen.

Special Hobby's 1/32 scale Brewster Buffalo Mark I. Ta Da! (Cue Fireworks...) The maligned Brewster has always been a fascination of mine-why, I'm not sure. I like the looks, the barrel shape, different landing gear, cool glasshouse [...]
