Aviacom Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Simple question really, Is there a 1/32 kit of the Brewster Buffalo available? Any aftermarket available for a kit? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i'm going to hunt one out and buy it, there is just something about this aircraft that does it for me!? And I don't even know what that could be, it just does.

LSP_Mike Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Oddly, I've thought of one also, just to do a Yellow wings scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Well… eBay prices are goofy right now for the early variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill M. Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 There was also an F2A-3 variant as appeared at the Battle of Midway. I have one in my stash, waiting to be built. Looks like it has the makings of a most adequate build. Bill M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pointed out that the F2A-3 kit was not a Specisl Hobby kit but was derived from the Special Hobby kits. It was put out by Czech Models through Squadron. probably not appropriate for a yellow wing option, but would be what you want for an early war USN/ USMC version. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/czech-model-3201-brewster-f2a-3-buffalo--931257 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaro Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Some time ago on a french modellers forum there was a very comprehensive 1:32 F2A-1 built report (incarnation by Azur): http://fighters.forumactif.com/t88876-annee-azur-brewster-f2a-1-buffalo-special-hobby-132 Possibly some pictures may be already missing but I can remember the comments and pictures were very handy.

jwest21 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) I built the Finnish boxing. Fit wasn't too bad, I did some scratch work in the cockpit as the details there are fairly basic. The landing gear is a little fragile, FYI. The one thing I didn't like were the wheels. I know the Buffalo had simple hubs but the kit wheels look like cheap toy wheels. Sadly, there is no aftermarket wheels for them Edited December 5, 2022 by jwest21 Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
