Thanks Stuart. Aside from the Buffalo, I’ve also been working on this bird a bit. I primed the cockpit area (along with other selected parts that will need that later) in Tamiya White Liquid Surface Primer. Then after allowing that to dry overnite, this morning i painted that area in Vallejo Model Air Aluminum.

I’ll let this all dry overnite before I begin detail painting.

Thanks Stuart. The cockpit is fairly well detailed. Especially when you see how small the opening for the pilot is! Leaving the entry hatch open does allow for more of the detailing to be seen, so that’s while I’ll be doing.

In between bouts of working on my F2A today, I was doing detail painting in the cockpit here. I also installed the machine gun receivers onto the decking

Now it just needs a wash in there to make the details stand out better
