The Squad/Sig has an excellent 3 view as well as bit and pieces drawings of the B-339 showing various features. |

The Squad/Sig book on the Buffalo is easily the best reference a available for the Finnish B-339. |

Dave thanks for the tip, I'll be especially care with the decals, perhaps try to put a decal overcoat on them first. |

Bill, I'm about half way through the cutting. I bought a pack of 100 #2 blades for the #5 knife. So far it is going pretty good. The Diels wood is very good this time. |

I rest my case. Sharp blades, and lots of em. Work slow. Landing gear? A tough build, but I think you're gonna love it, Jerry... |

Diels decals LOOK great but are the flimsiest I've ever seen! |

I was able to find BW-372 on Wings Palette. The Diels decal sheet is off by on digit which should be easily corrected. |

While researching the Buffalo on the internet I ran across a Finnish Buffalo retrieved from a lake in Russia. BW-372 it was flown by Lauri Pekuri who shot down by Migs and crash landed on the ice covered surface. Pekuri walked the 20 miles back to Finish lines. |

Diels supplies the usual strip and printwood. |

The kit decal sheet is awsome providing markings for all 3 different aircraft. |

One of the sheets provides painting instructions for 3 different aircraft, US, RAF and Finland. |

The kit comes with two large sheets of instrutions printed on both sides, providing 4 large sheets of instructions. I printed copies of both sides so I could cut the sheets apart making it easier to work with. |
