Brewster Buffalo je bila prva Tamiya maketa u razmeri 1/48 proizvedena 1974 godine , i ako vremešna uklapanje je odlično i bez preterane upotrebe gita . Za današnje standarde kokpit je vrlo siromašan i gotovo u potpunosti je urađen u samogradnji. Što se spoljašnosti makete tiče urađeno je rivetiranje i urezano je nekoliko nedostajućih panela . Efekat platna na komandnim površinama je urađen ovom tehnikom .
Farbanje je obavljeno Gunze bojama na mešanjem da liče na RAF boje obzirom da su avioni farbani u USA bojama koje su rađene po uzoru na RAFove boje iz tog perioda.
Maketa pretstavlja mašinu 453. Skvadrona RAAF-a stacioniranog u Singaporu tokom 1941 godine. Na ovom avionu 13og Decembra poručnik Doug Vanderfield tokom jednog leta oborio je 3 Japanska bombardera dok mu je stajni trap ostao zaglavljen u donjem položaju..

Brewster Buffalo is first Tamiya's 1/48 scale kit dating back in 1974, old but still pretty good. Overall fit is good so only minor filling was necessary. Cockpit interior is far below todays standards so lots of scratch building was involved in cockpit area. Entire external surfaces was riveted and some missing panel lines was rescribed. Fabric texture was reproduced on all control surfaces using this technique .
Finished model represents ac form No. 453 Squadron RAAF in Singapore area . This particular ac was flown by Flt Lt Doug Vanderfield, who shot down three Japanese bombers over Butterworth, Penang on 13 December 1941, while his undercarriage was jammed in down position.
