Brewster339: primed and painted

The Eduard PE really makes a differnce here! This kit was my first n' so far only 1:48 build but I did it OOtB as a KNIL bird. Yours looks so much better than mine do. This will be a blast!

Holger Kranich

Acki
Well, I think it´s very special! This will become very interesting!

Aghis Barberopoulos
Nice looking cockpit! Good work.

Thanks guys!

Yestersay, after taking the pictures I glued the fuselage together. Now I have to mate the wings with the fuselage and tackle with the long and boring process of puttying and sanding the parts. By chance ( but can I talk of chance, after all it's a Tamiya kit), this tedious job seems to be rather limited.

Looks great!

Now the upper camouflage is painted with Humbrol paints.

Please tell me what you think of the shade, as I am a little confused...

My main source is the Kagero book ont the Buffalo: the paint I used are the equivalent in the Humbrol range of the paint given for the ML-KNIL:
FS 34092 for the medium green. That's H149
FS34087, or olive drab aka KH155

And when I see the colour profil in the book,and compare them to my kit... The shades seem goods for the B-396, but not at all for the B-3110 I want to model: The olive drab is more like a light green..

So where is the mistake?
my paint?
the profile?

Urban Gardini
The profile I think as it should be green on green as I gather it. But I don't know what's right. I followed Tamiya's paintscheme on mine n' that one is clearly at fault.
