Title: RCAF 100th - 1/72 Brewster Bermuda Started 24 Jul 22 Completed 10 Aug 22

A new project has been started with parts being rough cut from clear pine. The SMM gallery has the Brewster SB2A-1, however it is not the version I want to do.

Thank you Gordon. It is not well know among the modelling society. being camouflaged, it will be a change from my recent yellow bird collection build.

Lou

RCAF collection, hence no yellow Wackett.

It was considered by the RAAF along with the Helldiver but the Vengeance won out.

Thanks. We are not accustomed to these temp in Newfoundland where a hot day would be 25C. Humidity is also very high.

Roll out 10 Aug 22. Not much information is available on the RCAF Bermuda. Three were purchased in 1943 and sent to Suffield AB for "Special Research Operations" I could find nothing else other than they were retired in 1946.

Another terrific model Lou.

You can see the "Buffalo" heritage.

Cheers
