- Brewster B-339 Buffalo 1/48 scale Tamiya
Heres the build video for my Brewster Buffalo kit. Fairly basic model and I didnt use any photo etch or resin parts on this kit. Tamiya paint colors are noted in the video along with my first time using Vallejo model air colors (worked well although longer drying time than Tamiya paint)

I learned so much watching this video. Great music too.
Thanks and Im glad you found it helpful!
Another great build, well done.
Great Work! Loved the tip about curved masking!
Glad you found it interesting!
Great model build and what a beautiful aircraft, thanks.
Thank you!
What a marvellous small model!😎
Thanks!
Hey ! Your tip for curved masks is is one of the best I have ever seen ! Tryed by myself and the result is fantastic ! Tank you !
Awesome! I forget where I learned the tip from, but glad I could pass the knowledge along to you 👍
Nice job! Looks excellent for such a basic kit.I like the masking tip for the spinner.
Thanks, that was my first time trying out that method and I thought it worked really well!
Brill build my friend ! I have just bought this kit for my stash as I love the look of it !! You've done a fantastic job ! Really well done !
Thank you! The camo colors were fun and I liked the green dragon/sea monster decal on the side
That's very Good
High level Job.
Thanks!
The most fun i had with models as a kid was setting them on fire for crash landings then dripping the burning plastic on fire ant hills to simulate napalm attacks on the VC.
Haha I literally laughed out loud. I've used firecrackers on some of my older builds
Awesome work! Does anyone know why the British paint the bottom of the planes half black? I see them doing the same with their Spitfires.
Thanks! Possibly to help friendlies identify them from the ground? It is a bit odd though
AMAZING MY FRIEND. 👌👍 I have a Tornado 1:72 scale GR.1 RAF to do when I get time my mate 😊
The hard part is getting the time lol!
It is my freind there isn't a enough hours in the day 😕
respect
Thanks!
Nice model! Ya ever wonder what the Brewster would have been with say a Pratt Whitney 2300 Wasp in it !?
A success? Lol
Exactly, a corsair engine would have made the bearcats style performance , but, given brewsters quality, itd probably have torn itself apart.....
The canopy mask turned out great. Which masking methp did you use?
Thanks, the kit came with a sheet for the masks. It was similar to the Eduard masking sheets except it wasn't pre-cut. It's got all the sections marked but you have to cut them out with a hobby knife.
Scale Model Assassin i recently masked my tamiya ki 61 1d. From what i know only automotive tamiya models have pre cut masks
I wonder why they only do automotive pre cuts. I would be happy to pay an extra dollar if they would cut the aircraft masks for me.
Scale Model Assassin eeh it didn't bother me, but I found that Eduard's Express masks have better adhesion. And hey, the shipping is also not a problem for me as I live in Poland and basically have 20 km to the Czech border
Hey, I know you may not reply, because this is an old video. But I had a question about this build: did you have a problem attaching the landing gear legs after assembling the wings and the fuselage together, because in the instructions it recommends putting the legs together before attaching the wings, but that's a pain in the ass for painting. Thanks in advance.
Not that I can recall and if there had been a big problem, it would have stuck out in my mind. Im almost always able to save the landing gear until last without any issues, even when the instructions say otherwise.
@@ScaleModelAssassin Thanks you so much for replying so fast dude! and good to know. Thanks for the help😁
Hello, great build, but I have a question, does this model have recessed or raised panel lines?
Recessed 👍
@@ScaleModelAssassin Thank you❤️
delightfully chubby isn't it 😍😍
Haha yes!
Man! You forgot to unmask the belly canopy!🤣
I dont think I forgot to unmask it. I think I forgot to mask it in the first place . Im guessing I decided to skip it but I cant remember why. Back then I probably looked at it and the Tamiya DIY cut-it-yourself masks and said eff-this lol. Good catch, Id completely forgotten about that glass.
@@ScaleModelAssassin I just opened a box of the same kit so.... ;)
For a 339E it is supposed to be painted over like that. The instructions tell you to do it, so Tamiya got it right. But you didn't add the window decal on the left front canopy pane on the sliding section. This replicates the little oval window the British added. It was good that Tamiya added that decal. But Tamiya did not include nor tell you to drill out the second landing light that the 339E had, and the pitot tube should be the barbed/shark fin-style. As is, the kit is incomplete if you want to make this version.
What air brush do u use?
I mostly use a badger sotar 20/20 but I also have an iwata neo that I used in this video
@@ScaleModelAssassin thx 😁
I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more burnt umber.
Terrible airplane but you make it look good! Hats off to the crazy bastards who flew this over Singapore, Wake and Finland.
Thanks and yep its a wierd design. Although the green dragon creature on the side looks cool
my tribute to an aussie pilot that even managed to shot down a Zero with this flying coffin!!......although he had a wreck of a Buffalo by the time he headed to the airstrip LOL.. Great build mate!
Whats funny is the Finns actually liked this plane. It did well against the early Soviet equipment I guess. Could be the colder weather up north was more to its liking.
I made this kit, but customized it to a Finnish buffalo, idk why they didnt include the option for that on the kit
