Cockpit attached to fuselage, for anyone building this, position the cockpit into the front hole on the fuselage and it will then naturally position itself. Wings put together.
As always, you're very welcome Cuajete. 👍
Thanks for your interest and likes Andrew B, Rui DS, Sukhoi242 and 2 other mates I didn't see your names. 👍

How can all the names of the likes be seen? I only receive notice of one of the names, if several mates have liked it.

A Dutch buffalo, I'm following this for sure 👀
I build the special hobby kit in dutch service years ago, look forward to see how yours will turn out

Tail and tailplane added. The tail (lighter shade of grey) is resin of some sort and a bit of filler will be required. In the cockpit area front of cockpit painted Vallejo Model color black and the rear Vallejo Model Air US Forest Green. 🙂
@ Jan, my first WW2 plane in Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force livery, I'm hoping that it comes out as well yours although the Special Hobby version is, I believe more detailed, especially in the cockpit. 👍
Thanks for your interest and likes Jan P, Petr K, mcsony & Villiers DV. 👍

Prop on (this is one of those individual prop blades), matt varnish, undercarriage on, masking off and last bits and bobs. Finally, a small amount of weathering.
This aircraft denoted is that flown by 1st Lieutenant August Gerard Deibel (11 September 1915 – 12 June 1951), he was a Dutch pilot of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force. He was part of 2-VLG-V, which was stationed in Singapore before its withdrawal to Java. His unit emblem was a rhinoceros head painted on both sides of the front fuselage on his Brewster Buffalo aircraft. His rank and surname, 'Lt Deibel' was printed beside the nose art.
Deibel is credited with three kills, two of which were Ki-27 Nates on 12 January, during a Japanese air raid over Singapore, and was twice wounded in action on 12 January and 19 February 1942. He was taken prisoner by the Japanese on 8 March 1942. For his war time exploits he was awarded the Military William Order and the Resistance Star East Asia.
Deibel was killed on 12 June 1951, piloting a Gloster Meteor aircraft when it crashed near Uithuizen in the Netherlands.

Nice work Guy !! Looks like a nice detailled kit. Also, good choice for the version, rather unknown piece of Dutch history.
I've seen the Dutch decalsheets, but I didn't know this kit included them.
