Brewster Buffalo Teaser

Hello, me again.

After grinding through my Fi.103R last week, I was a bit surprised by the low upvote count. I Am Not Asking For Upvotes. This Is To Explain Why I’m Working On My Current Project.
So, to make this game a bit more fun again, I decided to work on a plane I’ve wanted to build for a while now: The Brewster Buffalo.
Entering service with the Americans, British, Dutch, and Finns, the Buffalo proved to be quite dissatisfying for the first three. Major losses in the Pacific against the Japanese led the Americans, British and Dutch to remove the aircraft from service as soon as possible. However, things were different in Europe. Fighting against the Soviet Union and its Red Air Force, Finnish pilots saw huge success with the Buffalo. Finnish pilots were achieving 32 victories for every Buffalo lost. Ironically, the Finns could be considered a part of the Axis powers at the time.

So, with all that said, I will be building a Finnish F2A Buffalo. To go along with that, I may “remaster” my I-16.

This is the aircraft I will be making:

This is it right now:

I’ll be smoothing out the wings and adding the rear controls later this week, and landing gear will come after that.

Comment T to be tagged on the final build. It should be out in 1-2 weeks, but no later.
