Removed mask

Needs some little retouching, of course

That is looking really, really smart.

The work you've done on this has been great Krauxi, but it's such a silly little plane. This build is tempting me to want to start mine.

It's funny to build, i can assure

It's making me want to propose a Buffalo group build. I must be losing it.

That is tempting OT.

I'd like to do it just to see how you'd figure out how to build a Spitfire as your subject.

Some work to do on engine yet...

I will display it in maintenance, of course

There would be no need as the Buff is my second favorite WW2 fighter. I think it also holds the highest kill ratio of any allied fighter (except of course most kills are by the Finns fighting the Soviets!)

I recently read 'Buffalos over Singapore' By Brian Cull. It was a bit harrowing, young inexperianced pilots totally outclassed and outnumbered by the Japs. On the one occasion when they had some early warning and gained some height they hit the enemy hard, even turning back the bombers but it was too little too late.

It took balls to fly this tubby little fighter - its still better looking than a Mustang.

I'm not sure to understand; do you mean it was the most outclassed allied fighter ?
