peter havriluk Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I'm in the midst of assembling a Tamiya B-339 Brewster Buffalo as a Finnish aircraft. Aftermarket decal set helped with the exterior colors, bur I'm at a loss for the non-exterior coloration. My guess is to use US Navy colors.- - - Which were? Any advice or clarification will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seawinder Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I highly recommend you peruse this thread at Britmodeller: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234998703-questions-about-the-finnish-buffalo-239/ Scroll a bit less than halfway down the thread and you'll find a post from Jim Maas, who has more expertise on the Buffalo than any other modeler on the planet. Overall cockpit color: aluminum (-ium), with forward upper side panels in black; instrument panel in black. There's a link in his post to a b/w photo that shows the black areas quite clearly. Don't let anyone tell you that the cockpit was Interior Green or green zinc chromate: this color didn't come into use in the Buffalo cockpit until the F2A-3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
