PF Naughton Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Hi, It looks like you have most the US and UK/Commonwealth types represented (as well as a captured plane in Japanese markings). Have you considered doing a Belgian, Finnish or a Dutch variant? 😀 (I've always wanted to try and do one in notional Polish markings to represent what the plane might have looked like if Brewster had been able to fulfill that order). Regards Pat PS. Also, out of curiosity, what is the story behind the version on the far left, front row, with what looks like extra exhaust ducts (?) around the engine cowling?

Hello, Yes this is part one of my Buffalo colection, part 2 wil have Belgian, Dutch, Australian and FAA planes. Part 3 for the Finish AF ones (a lot). The darker one with more exaus pipes is "Black Bess" modified Buffalo from 243 Sq RAF Kallang, Singapore for night defense december 1941. The one just on the right is another modified one without armement for PRU duties 67 Sq RAF Mingaladon Burma also in december 41. Alain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcello Rosa Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 LOL I thought you were going to show a collection of DHC-5 Buffalo models, which would take a lot more space... So, as someone who is always struggling for space, I was wondering how big your house is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
