I've started the build of the Buffalo. As David Damek (PLASMO-plastic models) has made a build video of this plane on YouTube, I have followed along and made some of the additions from his video on my model.

Thanks Mates! 🙂 You are all welcome! I'm going for the markings on the box cover.

Another update, the base camoflage is now finished. As I have the Montex Maxi Mask set for the plane, I have decided to paint all the markings also, so that is the next step.

I've spent all day, masking and painting all the insignias and markings. It was fun, but I'm pretty happy that it is over with 🙂.

Thanks bobinspokaloo! 🙂
My name is a swedish secret😉 The easiest way is probably the copy-paste method, that's what I usually do when I can't find the letters on the keyboard or if someone has a loooong name😉.

Looking very good Bjorn! I really like the barrel like look of the Buffalo and the fact that the Dutch also flew them in the East Indies helps.....Yours is looking splendid

The painted markings look better than decals. Haven't seen that done before.

Quick question, which fonts did you use for the markings? I need to make my own for a buffalo project too

Thanks mates! I'm happy that you like it! 🙂
@Wim, I used the masks that came with the Montex-kit. Finding the right font is always a problem, sorry I can't shed any light on that.

So the Buffalo soldier is finished, finally! 🙂 I even did the rigging this time😉, and I scratch built the mirror holder from some spare photo etch.

Since I remember Saburo Sakai's rendewous with Buffalos over Surabaja, I like the obsolete plane.

Thanks Stephan! 🙂
It's actually an old build (from December), I just replaced a few pictures that had been corrupted in the build log.
