"Fun Build"

jc (Missouri)

Just about finished with this build, it's the first in my line of all U.S. fighters from WW II to present and though it's an older kit I've still been enjoying the build. A bit of sanding was needed on the seams but other than that the parts fit perfectly. I'm replicating one of the aircraft from VMF-221 on Midway Island. This came with Tamiya canopy masks but they aren't precut so I ordered some precut ones from Eduard. I tried cutting out pre-printed masks and it was an effort in futility for me and unless you are good at cutting those I'd order precut, it's a booger of a canopy to mask. Directions are simple and easy to follow.

"Brewster B-339 Buffalo another fine Tamiya model"

darling.chris

First let me say I almost past this model up. Glad I did not. First and foremost the kit is very well made very good fit of all pieces, good parts count and very good detail for the price. there are very clear directions, very good decals and excellent painting suggestions to build a very good representation of a Brewster. This is a good starter model for someone new to model building. Tamiya makes excellent aircraft kits. Don't pass this one up, you will not be disappointed. This kit went together trouble free. Parts are clean with very little to no over flash. Good decals. clear directions. I found no cons in the build or the finished model.

"Loved It"

tommyearl

Awesome kit. Several build options. I went with the overall gray, USN. No USN collection is complete without this little guy. She now stands on my shelf, between a F-3F1 and F-3F2, and a Wildcat. Next in line is the Hellcat, and it gives a nice representation of how US Naval aircraft grew in size, as did all aircraft, from the '30s and into WWII. The fit was excellent, as always with Tamiya, and the kit includes a mask for, not only the canopy, but also the ventral window on the underside of the aircraft. The decals can't be beat. The only problem with this kit is deciding which version to build. The pre-war yellow wing paint scheme is not included in the options, but you could easily pull it off with a little research. I intend to buy another, and paint in that scheme.

Information

Following the release of a U.S. Navy version of the Brewster Buffalo in 1993, Tamiya now releases the B-339 export version of the Buffalo used by the Royal Air Force and Netherlands East Indies Army Air Corps during WWII. Kit comes with new parts such as canopy, propeller, seat and decals to accurately reproduce the Buffalo used throughout South East Asia. Also includes parts to reproduce the U.S. Navy version featuring gray fuselage.

About the Brewster B-339 Buffalo "Pacific Theater"

The Buffalo was first developed in 1935 as a U.S. Navy carrier based fighter. Featuring a modern mid-wing monoplane design with enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear the first mass produced Buffalo was designated F2A-1, which was shortly followed by the improved F2A-2. Based on the U.S. Navy Buffalo, the B-339 Buffalo was for export only and was fitted with an export approved 1,100hp Wright Cyclone engine and redesigned for land use with navy equipment such as life raft and arrestor hook removed. The Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Netherlands East Indies Army Air Corps (ML-KNIL) used the B-339 to protect colonial outposts in Malaysia, Singapore and Java during WWII.
