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

Fauzan R.
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!

Fauzan R.
Thanks Ben, it's getting close to finish. I hope I can finish it by tonight.

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

Doubtingmango
That's a great finish!

Nathan Dempsey
Nicely done. 🙂

Thank you it was a pleasure to build plus, I love the WW2 3 colors NAVY paint scheme.

Doubtingmango
Beautiful work!

Neuling
I like it 2 !

Guillaume Blanchet
Thank you mate! I had a lot fun doing it although I trew away the clear sprue too soon 😛. Glad you enjoy the result.

Nathan Dempsey
I really liked the Eduard kit. A nice low stress build. I still have a Hasegawa Night Hellcat to build at some point.

Nathan Dempsey
You made that old Hobbycraft kit shine.

Guillaume Blanchet
Tanks Nathan 🙂 These Hobbycraft kits tend to have more than less interior details. I love them for the price.

Casey Beckett
GREAT job on those exhausts - such a tedious task but sure worth it.

Doubtingmango
Nice job!

Neuling
Clean, careful, beautiful!

Nathan Dempsey
I am inspired. Next project is a Hobbycraft Bearcat. I do love these old kits.

Guillaume Blanchet
Thank you all!

The exhaust can be quite stressful .THIs time I only had one where my starting hole was miss align.

@ Nathan: Eager to see the result. Was the bearcat use in WW2? I'm wondering if my Navy fighter "Tech tree" is missing a plane.

Nathan Dempsey
I think it was too late for WW2 and the first combat use was by the French in Indochina War(Vietnam) from '46 to '54 then the South Vietnamese AF used it when the French left until 1960. (I think all those were donated ex-French airframes)
