Brewster Buffalo

Pictures of the completed aircraft. Operated by several nations throughout The Second World War



I tried to make the paint scheme as multi-national as I could, including nondescript markings


Fortunately this kit came with a pilot figure


I tried to use old fuselage decals but they broke up, so in the end I had to paint some markings ... not an easy task 



The colours, etc are loosely Dutch East Indies but the Finish and Belgians used these too in a similar pattern



The Dutch used this aircraft in a dive bomber role, so I added a couple of small bombs from the spares box


This is an excellent addition to my aircraft collection. I had been after one of these for some time. Thanks Paul for sending it.
