  "1/72 Liberty Models Resin Buffalo"

  Passing through Halim Jakarta in 2000, I saw this Buffalo and took a solitary picture of it. I was struck by the attractiveness of the scheme and thought it would make a nice model one day. Not so long ago surfing one of the many modelling sites I stumbled across reference to a 1/72 Buffalo kit, I searched the photo album, found Liberty models on the net and ordered the kit. While waiting for the kit to arrive I started on the decal designs starting off with enlarged scans of my photo.

  I'd never built a resin kit before so it was with some trepidation (well founded as it proved) that I started the construction. The fin and tailplane were made in two thin halves, being resin they had a bit of a warp, the relatively flat tail plane was reasonably easy to straighten out, the fin less so and if I was building this again I would make a balsa replacement. The prop blades were no good either so I clipped them off the spinners and made plastic card  replacements.
  Lots of filling and sanding was required, the canopy fit to fuselage was quite tricky.. I almost pulled it off but if you look little hard it is a tad "skew- iff". Actually if you hold a straight edge to this model..it aint all square!

  Whist my build is not great, the attractive scheme, reasonable paint job and my home made decals make it a shelf "favourite". I am fairly sure there aint too many Indon Navy Buffalos gracing fellow modfellers shelves around the world!

  Just delete any of the boxes below you don't need.....it's not important to include them.....they are there to give you an idea of the finished article.  It is best to limit your article to no more than 60 or so photos, so the finished webpage won't take too long to open.
