Will be watching this when the time comes... I like your interest in ML-KNIL aircraft, the Buffalo was a cute plane (might do an FAA one in Crete some day...) so... I'll wait for this! Oh, and Merry Christmas, Ben!

Project goals:
1. Re-build a fun kit I built as a kid.
2. Learn how to work with resin (wheels are resin)
3. Learn how to mask complicated canopies (always brushpainted freehand when I was a kid)
4. Learn how to do 2-color camo (always brushpainted when I was a kid)

Is KNIL means Koninklijk Nederlands Indisch Leger, a Dutch army in West Indies?

The kit decals look shot. I have dutch decals 72068 which of course doesn't cover the buffalo, but I'm sure I can make it work.

I'll be joining this one. Hope you can make the decals work Ben!

Used similarly sized Dutch decals orange triangles from do.215 to replace faded kit triangles

I accidentally deleted my album, attempting to delete just one photo. Fitting the canopy to the fuselage, and doing detail work like the radio mast on the tail.
