    **** FINISHED: 1/48 Brewster B-239 – Aces Group Build.

    Username: Vic Balshaw
    First name: Vic
    Category: Judge – Non competing
    Scale: 1/48
    Manufacturer: Special Hobby – Brewster Buffalo F2A

    Extras: Mostly OOB which has etched detail and resin parts plus inScale 72 decal set AC007 and Eduard Mask set EX084.

    My thanks to you all for your continued support and encouragement during the build. Because of my big holiday it was a bit of a rush towards the end and I must admit the decaling is not the best partly due to what I suspect was out of date decal solution and decals that were not the best quality, each individual one had to be washed after removal from the backing in order to remove a mucky film.

    The buffalo is squat, ugly, ineligant...

    Yet looks so cool when built up.

    great job Vic.
