Bob, Brandon, Tom, John, Tony, Pat, Lawdog, Damouav, Frank, Lurch, Baron, and Missilman, thanks one and all guys for your kind feedback on this build!
@bobbailey, the Model Master yellows are old purchases from when the paint line was at every hobby shop. I just don't use the color that much to use it all up over the years.
@brandon, I'm with you on the Buffalo. I love those underdog aircraft types
@tom, the between the wars yellow wings markings are so attractive! Not attempt at concealment. Here we are! Lol! The F2A was a snappy aircraft in its original form, but the Navy kept adding weight to the design, and it couldn't handle the weight.
@John, there are plenty of Yellow Wings subjects to be had. I sure want to do more now.
@Tony, the RAF camo looks good on these too. As do the Dutch and Finnish schemes
@Pat, the Buffalo does have it visual charm, doesn't it?
@Lawdog, that yellow is such a beast of a color to get on properly. I actually did flat yellow over white primer under the final gloss yellow top coat to get the proper coverage.
@Frank, I'm with you on the Yellow Wings type. After this one I am planning several more, both Navy and Army
@Lurch, the flight deck was a fun little side project to tie in with this. And you gotta love those old Monogram pilot figures, this one being from their TBD kit that I built a few years back.
