Special Hobby have sent details of their 1:72 Brewster Buccaneer.
SB2A-4 Buccaneer ‘US Marines Bomber’
The SB2A dive bomber aircraft was designed by Brewster during WW2 to be operated primarily from aircraft carriers. Although the type was produced in several various versions, it was used only for training. The British military used the type under their own name of Bermuda. A similar version was also developed for the air force of Dutch East Indies (ML-KNIL), but in the end was not delivered as the Dutch surrendered. The SB2A-3 saw service with the US Navy whilst the dash 4 variety, as brought to you in our recent release, belonged to the US Marines inventory. The decal sheet offers markings for three US Marines airframes bearing both the two- and three-colour schemes and one fictitious machine as it might have looked like had it been acquired by the Dutch.

• US naval dive bomber
• the SB2A-4 was operated by the Marines
• decals for three US Marines options and one as would have been flown by Dutch East Indies (they in fact wanted to buy the type)
• the kit contains resin parts and etches


Kit #SH72303 is due for release soon - Price: 21.20 Euros

You might want to change the title from Buffalo to Buccaneer. Both look like Brewsters, but with a difference.

Cheers Troy I could have sworn I wrote Buccaneer. Ironic really, as it's always been a favourite of mine since building a 1:48 vacuform kit of it many, many years ago. All the best Rowan

I sure would like to see this upscaled to 1/48!
