Here's one project that didn't take too much thinking about. It's the Brewster Buffalo of the 488 Squadron, RNZAF, Kallang, that was part of the defense of Singapore during October 1941. The venerable pudgy allied fighter that flew the daunting task of defending the British colony of Malaya and it's war assets.
It's an old 1/72 scale kit, which comes in the typical two color sprue set. Details are great for a kit it's age, as it comes with recessed panel lines and profiled control surfaces, though additional panel line detailing might be prudent.
I've been wanting to do project outside my Philippine Air Force and aircraft that flew and fought in the Philippines during WW2.
And this might be the start of my "Defense of Singapore, October 1941" builds, as I see Hurricanes and Blenheims in the flight line of that era.
The kit was a great find in the bargain bin of Hobby Kulture.
Test-fitting looks great, but knowing Matchbox kits of yore, this will need a wee bit of elbow grease to sort out the joints and panels.
Oh well, tally-ho and God save the Queen!!!
