Tamiya Buffalo

Thanks for kind words, all.  

Freem, I'm not finding Imgur too bad.  It takes some getting used to but is much less cumbersome than Photobucket.  I'm not sure who really owns the pictures on it, though.

There was a lot of overspray from the 2 colours, and it looks better in pictures, I think.  I did rub it down with some old t-shirt material before decalling.

That is a great freehand camo job!  Nice to see the Dutch version--dont see that very much.

What do you think of imgur? Like you I haven't posted a pic in over a year and am considering that host source.

Not bad freehand camo for a first try. The first time I did it, it looked like my airbrush sneezed and puked the paint all over the plane  I did have troubles with it, though, which are now fixed 

Great looking build.  

Great work. I too have this kit but my decals are old and I just don't trust them so I will paint them all on. Yours turned out fantastic.

You did a great job on your Buffalo!  Glad I could help with the decals.

She looks great! Nice job on the camo. Interesting subject and markings, is it a 1/48 scale?

Great job on this very interesting aircraft. I especiallly like the excellent canopy masking job you did.

Thanks, Toshi.  I appreciate your compliment.

You did a fantastic job on your free hand camoflauge.  What an unique and interesting build.  Thank you for sharing your build.

Your friend, Toshi

Here's the video I found:

For colours, I used what the instructions said; FX-49 Khaki and XF-62 Olive Drab.  In the video, the colours don't seem to contrast as much, though.

Hi,

That looks great 

Certainly looks spiffy to me!

Hard to tell about the colors but it looks about right to me. All depends on the light source in pictures that we post on the internet. Here's a screen shot from the 'net:

Of course rebuilt/restored classic aircraft may not have paint that represents all the varients in the country's airforce at that time.

Looks good! What colors did you use on this? And what references? I’ve seen conflicting information on the Dutch Buffaloes.
