Great job so far, Peter!
Watching with great interest. I have the Rothmans and Canadian Reds kits in my stash, too. I built the kit many years ago, and remember that the decals aren't opaque enough.
I remember as a kid, seeing the Canadians Reds (and later known as the Rayban Reds)at a couple Airshows in my home province of Alberta.

This little model is turning into a beautiful little gem.

Cuajete
Well done so far 👍

Peter Mollenhauer
@Gordon - You are right, I still remember the decals, but.....at the moment I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will at least work and not disintegrate, haha

Thanks for your mental support so far, mates! 🙂

Ben M
You should definitely coat them before using them

Doubtingmango
That is a fun little kit

I think the colors should be two tones of green rather than green and brown.

Fauzan R.
Yes, the paint should be different than the usual RAF dark green and brown scheme

I found few faults of this kit for fitting and few minor mold misalignments, probably due to how old the mold is. But nonetheless, it is still fun and few fixes wouldn't hurt.

It looks like a quite nice kit. Your masks look perfect. The buffalo I built was the matchbox 1/72 kit which isn't the best, but I built it when I was kid, so I wanted to see if I could do better this time

Mr D
No shortage of masking to do on a Buffalo 🤣, Looking good 👍👍 doing nice job 👍

Fauzan R.
Thank you for the encouragement Ben and D

Doubtingmango
Those colors look great

Mr D
Engine n pilot looking 👍👍 good.
Do you do a silver undercoat?? I'm learning about paint processes so ant tip will help.
Nice work..😀👍👍👌

Fauzan R.
Thank you Doubtingmango, I was experimenting quite a lot with paint mixing for this until in the end I just trust in my feeling 🤣

Yes I used Alclad Airframe Aluminum for undercoat, though I had to tone it down with a lot of flat clear. I don't feel to just use silver paint for it since gear and some underside sub-assemblies has similar color for it 😊

Mr D
Ok ... Thanks Fauzan...👍👍
Good to learn about the flat toning down the silver too.
Good luck on next steps .😀👍👍

Looks great!
