russ c Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi Everyone, Hope you don`t mind me sharing some pic`s of my most recent CBI build Tamiya`s 1/48 Buffalo MK I kit Completed to represent an aircraft used by 2-VI.GV, Netherlands East Indies Army Air Division, Java, March 1942.................... ......which was formerly used by 21 Squadron RAAF With the original national markings painted over with the later NEI markings but with the original codes and serial still showing Hence the British/Australian style aerial arrangement too Could only find one photo to work from so possibly one or two errors or maybe not? Apart from decals from the stash and brake pipes, built from the box contents. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking. Cheers Russ 37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Really nice. Way better than mine. How long did it take you? Mine was about two years in the making. The only different thing I did was open the canopy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thanks Russ this gives me an idea on my timing. Your presentations also give me ideas for my future show and tells. It is amazing just how much detail or problems a photo brings out. I was thinking of showing my HS 123 which I did a long time ago. I had major problems with getting the wing on and parts breaking off. When I took the photos every fault and speck of dust really stuck out, so it went back into my cabinet where I can't see the problems. I will have to make my Gaspatch one to show later. To me it goes to show how good your work is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
