Here’s some 1/72
resin DHC-5 Buffalos, also known as the CC-115 in the Canadian Forces. They are
from Liberty Models in Brazil. I had a bit of a time working on them, to
straighten the fuselage halves and join the wing boxes. For the price ($100 ea
with shipping) I would have liked a bit more quality control, but the only Buffs
out there right now are this and a vac-form offering. UGH.

I added
cockpit detail and spotter windows, and used and old decal offering from
IPMS Canada, presumably made for the vac-form kit that has been out there
a while. Hopefully an injection kit is coming in the next while, I’ve
got my fingers crossed for that one.
Sorry the pics
aren’t the best, I had to get the models ready to go to their new owners. One
is gone out west to an ex- SAR pilot, the other to an ex-maintainer on the east
coast. I may do one for myself someday, if the injection kit becomes a reality.
