Just barely - this is my first attempt at it, I'm very much a learner.

I sprayed the matt coat last night. It was slightly too thick I think so I'll remember to do a few lighter coats on the next build. I also removed the masking.

I'm just in the the process of finishing a few bits and bobs off, and then I'll assemble the last pieces on.

Very nice. Excellent work with the airbrush.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Nice! That big greenhouse canopy looks great. It's such the focal point of the Buffalo.
Thanks,
John

Thanks Gents!

A friend of mine has just offered to send me some decals he produced to replace the missing under fuselage windows.

Thanks John!

Well the Buffalo is mainly finished - I'm just waiting for a decal for the under window a chap in Canada has kindly offered to send me. Once that's on and I've done a bit more weathering I'll declare this one done.

Here's a taster - it's a cracking little kit.

Cheers!

Looking really good Stuart! That lack of the look down window is a glaring omission on this kit. Im glad to hear that you've been able to secure a fix on that from a loyal colonist... :giggles:

Now you need an early Oscar or a Nate as opposition. :wink:
