Brengun 1:32 flaps for the Brewster Buffalo is a photo-etched set of landing flaps for a model of this American fighter. It is not an airplane kit but an accessory with which you replace the plastic flaps from the base model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This photo-etched set from the maker Brengun replaces the landing flaps of a model of the American Brewster Buffalo fighter. Flaps are among the parts where the difference between plastic and photo-etched metal shows most: a real flap is thin sheet with a lightening structure, whereas in an injection mold it tends to become a compact piece of plastic many times the thickness. Photo-etched metal returns it to a real thickness and offers a view into its inside. The package holds the accessory alone; the model itself has to be obtained separately in 1:32 scale.
The Brewster Buffalo was a single-seat fighter with a radial engine, a cantilever all-metal wing and retractable landing gear, which entered service at the turn of the 1930s and 1940s. It was operated by the US Navy and by the air forces of several other countries, and it was committed to combat in the Pacific and in northern Europe as well. Its stocky barrel-shaped fuselage gave it a characteristic silhouette by which you will recognize it even from a distance.
Count on the original plastic flaps being cut out of the wing. Work slowly, with a thin saw and a scalpel, and fine-tune the opening gradually with a file according to a dry fit. Bend the photo-etched parts in a bending tool in small steps and dispense super glue onto the joints with the tip of a wire. Apply a base coat to the metal before painting. Open flaps reveal the inside of the wing, so give it the same care as a cockpit: a color matching the interior, a dark wash into the ribs and fine scuffing on the edges.
The set is an accessory, not a model in its own right. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue, paints and the base kit are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
