Well done, Stuart. Suitably beaten up, and the Zeros haven't even arrived yet.

Thanks Gents! I'll getcit finished up when the window decals arrive.

Now you need an early Oscar or a Nate as opposition. :wink:
Lol! A Nate or Oscar would be great - I'd like to do some more Japanese stuff.

It is the only real issue with this kit, I had wondered what to do about it but this is,a neat solution.

Got this one finished too - I had a friend from Canada send me some underside glazing decals to replicate what isn't in the kit - final glam shots.

Not too bad for my first go at airbrushing and freehand camo.

Congrats on finishing your Buffalo! It came out looking sharp! Always a hoot to see the black & white underside ID colors.

Thanks Carlos - I had to build one after seeing your build last year.

I do like that black and white scheme - it looks good on the Hurricanes and Spitfires too.
