Scratch Built Brewster Buffalo by hjlittman
hjlittmanThis is how I ended up tonight with the cowl fitted, the canopy bows installed and the temporary brace cut out of the cockpit. Today the fuselage...Tomorrow, the wings!
heywoooodI always liked this little fighter. It was better than folks thought it could be. Nice work as usual. I'd love to be able to laser cut my own parts and make 3D printed engines. Looking forward to your progress

hjlittmanI changed it to half shell construction with 1/16" squared keels and preceeded to laser cut new parts
bobgoodWow! Are you doing your own Laser cutting? Amazing!
BriandKilbyVery neat!
bsadonkillThat's all fine and well, when well produce a kit.
hjlittmanbasdonkill, Peanuts aren't really my thing, just for the OFFC contest. If I do an F2A kit it will be based on my, much more accurate, F2A NoCal as a Walnut scale kit (16 - 17 inch span) or a 1:16 scale kit (26-1/4 inch span). BTW, will you, please, email me, howard@hjlmodels.com, with your new email address. When I send you my newsletter it comes back undeliverable. Thanks.

I got back to work on the wings. I did do a slight redesign but it is still going to have bamboo wing tips as the plan calles for. This is not my first experience with 1930s building techniques.
