110% plausible Thomas. And the Buffalo looks REALLY good in the FAA paint scheme, almost as if it was designed for it.  :thumbsup:

Ah, yes, of course it WAS designed for it, silly me.,  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That turned out great, really like the scheme! 

Is it me, or does our stubby fighter look under-propelled?  The prop looks too small in diameter and chord (no criticism of the build).  perhaps a bit like the similar Wildcat. 

Great work!

Great build, and like Kit said, very credible indeed. :thumbsup:

It sure does look beat up, doesn't it?

That prop was really that small. But the blunt nose of the F2A and its tubby shape make everything look a bit out of proprotions - the aircraft is actually bigger than it seems!
