Mig88 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Hello everyone Here is the second of three Mark I Models 1:144 Brewster Buffalo kits I have completed this past weekend. It represents B-339D "White 2" (ex ML-KNIL), of the Air Technical Research Laboratory, Imperial Japanese Army Air Force, at Tachikawa Air Base, Japan, in 1942, one of several Dutch machines captured and tested by the Japanese. As with the previous B-339D, additions made to the kit were: the roll bar in the cockpit plus belts on the seat, the missing exhaust pipes, the wing pitot as well as the radio wires. I opened the leading edge gun holes. The kit was fully painted and varnished by brush. Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

Celestialsphere Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 That's a really nice little model. The pitot tube must be tiny! 🔬 Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Young Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Another lovely model Miguel, well done!. I must say, a Buffalo in Japanese markings is certainly unusual, it even looks a bit "Zero like" if you squint your eyes. Cheers, Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I'd go a little further... it reminds me of an egg-plane Zero 🤣! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, my eyesight is no longer good and, aprt from my glasses, using a headband with magnifying glasses is a must! It was one of the best items I have bought for modelling.
