I thought I'd make my product reviews a bit more consistent in format. I'm giving the following format a test-run and appreciate constructive comments. Kevin Item: Brewster F2A Buffalo, kit: R15-0113 Scale: 1/100 Medium: Resin Manufacturer: Armaments in Miniature, LLC (AIM) armamentsinminiature.com Vendor: AIM Price: $12 USD General Impressions: Nice little kit with parts to construct a US, Finnish, Dutch, or British Buffalo. The kit required very little in the way of clean up and prep. Seam lines were minimal and there were no air pockets. I assembled and painted these Buffaloes to represent those at the Battle of Midway, VMF-221. Pros: Parts provided for different versions. Clean casting. Cons: The resin antenna and gun-sight are delicate and likely to break off turning game play. Recommendations: I recommend the kit for all skill levels. Notes: I used Vallejo Model Color paints. I used Eagle Strike and Miscellaneous Miniatures decals. I replaced the resin gun-sight and antenna with thin wire. Reviewed by: Kevin Hammond, Miscellaneous Miniatures, LLC. miscmini.com
