Brewster F2A Buffalo

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as Brewster 339E Buffalo Mk I AN185 ‘TD-V’ of No. 453 Squadron, Royal Australian Air Force, at Sembawang, Singapore, in November 1941, usually flown by Sergeant Doug Vanderfield: a stubby single-seat fighter with a barrel-shaped fuselage, a Wright Cyclone nine-cylinder radial in an open-mouthed cowling with a three-blade Hamilton Standard propeller, a long framed greenhouse canopy, a mid-set wing with rounded tips and a rounded fin and rudder, shown tail down on inward-leaning main legs and a fixed tail wheel: Dark Earth and Dark Green upper surfaces and fuselage sides over Sky undersides, a Sky spinner and Sky band round the rear fuselage, a yellow-ringed fuselage roundel between Sky codes ‘V’ and ‘TD’, the serial AN185 in black aft of the band, a red, white and blue fin flash, blue and red roundels above the wings and blue, white and red roundels below, and black propeller blades, as photographed in the squadron line-up at Sembawang (IWM CF 766) (no Buffalo is in a UK museum; shape from a Brewster F2A-1 three-view, which shares the 339’s fuselage, wing and tail, scaled to the Buffalo Mk I’s published dimensions and checked against photographs; the camouflage pattern cannot be read from black-and-white photographs and is approximated, the starboard codes and the wing roundels follow the standard practice of the period, and the sliding hood, open in the photograph, is shown closed).
