Just barely - this is my first attempt at it, I'm very much a learner.

I sprayed the matt coat last night. It was slightly too thick I think so I'll remember to do a few lighter coats on the next build. I also removed the masking.

I'm just in the the process of finishing a few bits and bobs off, and then I'll assemble the last pieces on.

Nice! That big greenhouse canopy looks great. It's such the focal point of the Buffalo.

Thanks Gents!

A friend of mine has just offered to send me some decals he produced to replace the missing under fuselage windows.

Thanks John!

Well the Buffalo is mainly finished - I'm just waiting for a decal for the under window a chap in Canada has kindly offered to send me. Once that's on and I've done a bit more weathering I'll declare this one done.

Here's a taster - it's a cracking little kit.

Cheers!

Looking really good Stuart! That lack of the look down window is a glaring omission on this kit. Im glad to hear that you've been able to secure a fix on that from a loyal colonist... :giggles:

Now you need an early Oscar or a Nate as opposition. :wink:
