Hi comrades!

Here is my yellow wing Buffalo. 

The build is here

 

Main improvements:

Scratch built half of cockpit floor, main undercarriage and aft-engine structure and wiring.

Rivets.

Some wiring on undercarriage legs and cockpit.

Used aftermarket: Eduard's brass and canopy masks. Yellow-wings and Starfighter decals.

 

Thanks to all the help I received for my questions!

 

Hope, You enjoy

I love those yellow wing naval airplanes. That is a fine example of the type. I've restrained weathering. It's just right.

Thank You! Before the war, Buffaloes were maintained in "close to the new" state, so only very light weathering was done
