Brewster's Buffalo has long suffered under a tarnished reputation brought about by poor tactics of its principal user, the US Navy. They tried to use it as if it were the last of the Great War dogfighters rather than its true identity as the first of the American powerhouses which came to dominate aerial combat. The error was compounded by the RAF and RAAF, who also mistook their tactics. It was left to the Finns to salvage the Buffalo's reputation.

Bravo Joel!

Good looking Buffalo Joel, nicely done. A nice paint job with just the right weathering, not overly done. I love the wire antenna, nicely done along with the engine.

Thanks guys for all those accolades, as they're all much appreciated.

And of course a special thanks to Jessica for her usual outstanding job of editing my feature article.
