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

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

Engine n pilot looking πŸ‘πŸ‘ good.
Do you do a silver undercoat?? I'm learning about paint processes so ant tip will help.
Nice work..πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘Œ

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 😊

Ok ... Thanks Fauzan...πŸ‘πŸ‘
Good to learn about the flat toning down the silver too.
Good luck on next steps .πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ‘

The finished pics are great. I love the weathering. The canopy came out well. So much masking!

Album info

My supposed 12th project, trying out new techniques and casual build overall. Since I am from Indonesia, this kit is some sort of 'a must try' for KNIL subject.
