Unfortunate part about the Brewster Buffalo is it was on the receiving end of those German Pilots most of the time. If they made it I would probably spring for one just for sake of having one. I just don't think model company's are clamoring to make one of these for this reason. Sad actually as it is part of our history.

      Yep, not Nazi killers by any means, but every once in a while they would get the advantage and nail one...… I just like it because it would be different. I have the HE-123 biplane from FMS. It has wheel pants and flaps!!! Go figure. It flies nice!! Discontinued though.... But different!! :Cool:

        Yup, I'd like it! But I'm kinda weird and out of touch with things like this Jerry. You know what that means. LOL

            The Buffalo missed getting the kind of historical attention lavished on the later fighters, from being at its prime between the two wars. By December, 1941, it was outclassed by the Japanese Zero and the front-line German fighters, and was soon replaced by the newer, more capable fighters. However, it still earned its place in WWII history for its role as a trainer, preparing pilots for the more advanced fighters.

              Hoomi, I'd buy one, seriously! I'm like the Hardway, I like different. It wasn't a bad looking plane. I thought it was cool.

                      Darn tootin a DO-335 wouldn't suck. As a matter of fact it's about the only twin that I could go for before the OV-10 :Cool: (Gave Alpha some breathing room ;)LOL)

                        I'm kind of with you on that, but I'm leaning more towards "Luft 46" planes like the Lippish that never made it off the drawing board. Or more jets like the Arado Ar 234, Heinkel He 162 or Horten Ho 229.

                              While I was thinking about the Luftwaffe paint jobs, here is the Dynam 109 in a new paint job and Callie Graphics. This was from 2016, I think!! OK, enough dreaming here!! Back to working on the Corsair!! :Cool: My point is, any German birds that come out are just a blank canvas for really cool camo!!

                                Bring them all on. Definately a gap where the axis birds are concerned. A new Mossie would be great too.
                                Some of the BV line could be added.

                                  This would make for a very interesting EDF.

                                    Try this gentleman. Go on ebay and search Monogram 1/48. Hard to go wrong with that selection, and it's amazing how many of those kits are already Freewing and Flightline offerings. I'll take a 90mm F-8 or F-100 please!

                                      Time for some SAAB Jets! The Draken, Viggen, or Grippen all float my boat! I’m partial to the Draken in the Swiss airshow scheme and the Viggen with the awesome dark green woods scheme.
