****Finished: Brewster Buffalo of 2-VLC-V Netherlands East Indies AAC

Category: 2
Scale: 1:48
Manufacturer: Tamiya
Model Type: Brewster B-339 "Buffalo"
Details: 2-VLC-V Netherlands East Indies Army Air Corps, Java Island Feb-1942


This is the first model I have built in 20+ years and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Wayne, your guide for Panel Lines and Pastels was a God-send! Thanks to everybody else for the help and tips.
