Will be watching this when the time comes... I like your interest in ML-KNIL aircraft, the Buffalo was a cute plane (might do an FAA one in Crete some day...) so... I'll wait for this! Oh, and Merry Christmas, Ben!

Ben M
Merry Christmas, Alex! This is next up after the V-1, I've decided.

Project goals:
1. Re-build a fun kit I built as a kid.
2. Learn how to work with resin (wheels are resin)
3. Learn how to mask complicated canopies (always brushpainted freehand when I was a kid)
4. Learn how to do 2-color camo (always brushpainted when I was a kid)

Is KNIL means Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger, a Dutch army in West Indies?

Ben M
Yes, Havoc.

The kit decals look shot. I have dutch decals 72068 which of course doesn't cover the buffalo, but I'm sure I can make it work.

Wim van der Luijt
I'll be joining this one. Hope you can make the decals work Ben!

Jujimbo Jujimbo
Sorry, I mean East Indies, not West. I'll watch this

Ben M
Used similarly sized Dutch decals orange triangles from do.215 to replace faded kit triangles

Ben M
I accidentally deleted my album, attempting to delete just one photo. Fitting the canopy to the fuselage, and doing detail work like the radio mast on the tail.

Wim van der Luijt
Crap on a cracker.....but you can up load them again??

Ben M
Nope. Made a new one here: ML-KNIL Brewster Buffalo | Album by uhrwerk (1:72)

Ben M
Complete!

Wim van der Luijt
Turned out great despite all your set backs along the way

Ben M
Thank you! Not quite what I'd hoped for, but pretty good. Learned some lessons.

Alex K
Thumbs up for the completed Buffalo - and bring on the next ML-KNIL project! - oh, I see you already have!!! 🙂
