Bertie McBoatface Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 OK! Brilliant collection of an unregarded aircraft in an obscure service. It's interesting to see them brought to life. Good to see the occasional figure too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is part of a complete diorama. Alain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antti_K Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Wow, what a collection! Lovely work Alain. It seems you have covered all the paint schemes from the very beginning until the immediate post war years. Brewster Buffaloes were well liked by our air force and great results were achieved. And you also have other interesting planes in Finnish markings in your collection as well: like that Ar-196 carrying the ferry registration. Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have 192 planes of the Finnish Air Force in 1/72 covering the Winter War and the Continuation war. My first boss, how was Protestant Chief Chaplain of the Belgian Forces, how was also modeler, was maried with a Finnish woman. If you are interested, I can post them, perhaps not in one time.

JWM Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Wow, that is a crazy set of Brewsters! I remember when I was doing my Finnish Buffalo the hardest thing was to chose that one scheme which I will do and do something with regrets on the others, the left apart. You skip this difficulty at all doing them in a massive way! Impressive! Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigster Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Superb collection of those Finnish planes. They did have good score with them, yet opponents were on a bit different level than Japanese in Pacific area. Great theme build though! zig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
