DONE: 1/48 Brewster Buffalo, Netherlands East Indies AAC - Java Island, Group Build

[vikingBerserker]

Seeing all the incredible work you guys/guysettes have been doing, I've been bitten by the modeling bug once again in my life. Hopefully it's not too late to join the Group Build!

Category 2, 1/48th Tamiya Brewster Buffalo flown with the Netherlands East Indies Air Corp at Batavia Java Island Feb 1942. Spacifically aircraft# B-3110 of the 2-VLG-2.

Great to have you in the GB. I'm sure Dan or someone will soon 'sticky' this.
Nice pic Marcel, don't often get to see pics of Netherlands aircraft in WW2.

You really should get Dutch Profiles, Brewster Buffalo. It gives you all the info you need for your build. Unfortunately I don't have it myself, but I own several others from that series.
For the colors Oud Blad and Jong Blad:

Thanks Marcel. I just bought the Profile and Squadren Signal books on it, but the more info the better!

You bet. I just bought the dye cast version from Hobbymaster (yes, I'm lazy). But kuddo's for Viking to do a Dutch a/c for a change. Still waiting for someone to do a D.XXI....

 

[ccheese]

I'm going to watch it too, Mon Ami.... and interesting build.
