Just a super build. I have one myself on the bench and a couple in the stash. Bought my first one at a show back in the '90s after they had been out of production for years. A measly $10 US and I took off for the car like I'd stolen an old lady's purse. They were halcyon days then. Love the channel. Been subscribed for a bit. First time commenting.

thanks for the comments and its great to hear from my subscribers its still a cheap kit in the uk and is still one of my favourite kits i have built in the last few years

[@davidjones1588]

Beautiful build you made that Buffalo really stand out hats off to you once again on a great looking model 👍

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

Cheers pal It may be a old kit with new decals but it's a damn nice fun build

[@RMillerism]

I have partially built this kit. Going to start painting tomorrow after at least 10 years on the shelf. I remember those masks were a real b*llache to cut and put on.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

i can remember doing the masks and though they are time consuming i think its better than cutting them yourself or hand painting the canopy details

[@eddiebirdie1545]

Hiya YM, very nice 👍.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

cheers pal

[@gumnuts7680]

And let’s not forget the hell of a fight they put up against the Japanese in Malaya and Singapore!

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

did fantastic in my view

[@ronbaning5278]

Loved the build…background music not so much….

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

stopped doing background music i think its better to explain what i am doing with the build instead

[@alantoon5708]

A great kit still, despite its' age (came out in 1974).

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

Then again l love the original pz4 that was early 70s I believe I think tamiya make some cracking kits but the more recent stuff can be expensive

[@garymoore2674]

Yup,built several of these,and they're cheap

[@airfixer9461]

Mmmmm..pitty the glass bottom isn't correct for the British version...it's only correct for the US Navy... for the rest..nice build ;-)

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

Didn't know about that's for the glass underside Built as instructed but i am still happy with it because it was a fun kit to build

[@dekster14LP]

From the pictures I find on the web, the glass bottom is present on the commonwealth versions?

[@cellardwellerproductions5125]

This is incorrect. All Brewster Buffaloes were shipped from the factory with the bottom windows in place. The dash -3 was not built with the windows in the design and never saw them. Finland replaced damaged window panels with sheet metal but sources say that at later rebuilds the majority had their windows replaced. Look to the inter webs and ask the question 'were the windows on the Brewster Buffaloes painted over'. Any information from Jim Maas should be taken as gospel.

[@airfixer9461]

@@cellardwellerproductions5125 I don't agree, there are many sites around showing pictures of Belgian Buffalo's with factory markings leaving for Belgium..but never reaching it and none had a glass bottom.

[@JamesB21a]

The model looks great. Sad it was such a bad plane in WWII.

[@yorkshiremanmodels]

yes it was a old design by the time the war started

[@gumnuts7680]

Not that bad Usually put into hotter than expected situations with little early warning

No era mal caza amigo el problema de este caza es que fue producido y diseñado demasiado lento y tarde y cuando nació y pudo ser operativo había sido superado ya por los mortiferos cazas zero japoneses que eran mucho más rápidos maniobrables y versátiles.tambien otra era que los pilotos no estaban convenientemente entrenados todavía en modernos aviones monoplanos y los japoneses si lo estaban y eran ya muy veteranos de la guerra chino - japonesa en la que llevaban más de una década metidos probando todo tipo de cazas bombarderos aviones de transporte y reconocimiento etc. Y los aliados no.les pillo la guerra en bragas y eso también influyó muchísimo hasta que poco a poco se pusieron las pilas y llegaron a superar y vencer al japon..
