I’ve been meaning to build this one for a while, so I intend to actually start and finish it for this group build
Tamiya’s Brewster Buffalo in 1:48 scale. It is a somewhat older kit but certainly looks acceptable, as you would expect from Tamiya:
Here’s the paperwork that comes with the kit:
I have no idea why the decal sheet is in two parts, especially because the main sheet includes white backgrounds for the decals on the small sheet. The canopy masks are only printed outlines you have to cut for yourself, not pre-cut masks like some aftermarket companies sell.
In addition, I invested in two upgrade sets:
A resin cockpit interior and a resin engine. I’m now wondering what else is available for it, though. I might just go and look for an etched set or something …
The plane will be finished in ML-KNIL colours and markings, though I’m still debating whether to go for the “default” orange triangles or the red-white-blue flags that were adopted in 1942.
