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?

I'll post part 2 tomorow PM CMT

Hi Alain,

what a great collection! What caught my eye are two special versions shown on the 4th photo from top, which you explained as:

"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."

 

I would like to ask you if you could share with us which references you used to recreate these interesting versions and especially if there are 

any photos of them which you could share?

Thanks.

Wel Marko, I used the "Le Brewster Buffalo" book from JL. Couston Lela Presse (in french).

You have 2 drawings and 1 foto of the PRU ones.

A new meaning for 'Herd Mentality" - well done with that impressive herd of buffaloes!  Nice display case too.

Thank you very much. Part 2 of 3 this PM.

 

The cases are from "kewlox" made in Belgium

Nice collection of USN and RAF Thunderbolts. I like that you also included two USN aircraft that were used for stateside pilot training and other second line duties in the later stages of their operational career.

Nice herd of Buffalos.

I like the fat, bulbous Buffalos displayed above the sleek Spitfires.

Thank you man. I have also a lot of Finnish Air Force ones.
