Hasegawa 1/72 Brewster Buffalo. From F2A-2 to F2A-3.


Recommended Posts

Hi to all! I want to show you my Buffalo, this model is the result of recast old famous kit of Hasegawa. One day I found an interesting photo:

On the photo was F2A-3, so I decided on a small remaking:

Very impressive detailing, I was expecting the engine cowling to be open after all that effort, but I bet it still looks impressive when you peer into the wheel bays!

I like that you decided to take that amount of work to further detail it and convert to the worst of the breed (handling-wise), but the only variant used operationally by the US.

Great model, and quite a breath of fresh air from its RAF and FAF counterparts, which are much more common
