Thank you guys.

The interior is aluminium - I used Alclad Semi Matt aluminium.

Marcel, I've bookmarked this RFI for reference. I've got a fine molds Buffalo in the stash, I can use your build as reference if you don't mind..

 

Excellent build! (I will never reach this level, but that's ok)

Is there a WIP somewhere to be found?

Wow!! Very nicely done indeed. I really like the Dutch scheme on the Buffalo.

Really great build and finish, especially nice in the Dutch camo scheme.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot guys.

Fred: sorry, no WIP but I am planning another one (GA-P with Dutch flag insignias) and there will be a WIP.

Fin: It is 72 233 set bought second hand, it is definitely out of production.

however, Hannants and Sprue Brothers both list 72221 which may help.

Thank you! That’s the detail set for the F2A2. Any idea if the sidewall details at least would be appropriate for the 339 model? My main issue with the Hasegawa kit is its completly barren inner walls.

Yes, 72221 provides sidewall 'boxes' that are workable for all versions.  What version 339 are you planning - I've just been trolling through my Buffalo pix regarding pilot's seats. I know the British version had a square backed seat, but I don't know for sure what seat applied to the Dutch (or Belgian) versions.  I suspect the round backed seat like the US Navy types, but I'm not sure how that worked when the armor headset was installed on the 339C/D's,  Otherwise, the main instrument panel is appropriate for the Dutch version which still had the compass top center - it was moved to a pedestal for the British version  because the location was covered by the reflector gunsight.  (The Dutch also eventually installed N2A 'box' gunsights, I have no idea how they dealt with the compass issue).
