This is a replica containing original parts manufactured by the Cradle of Aviation Museum in New York. It represents the last Dutch aircraft in the Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia) to oppose the Japanese invaders March 7th, 1942. It was presented to the Military Aviation Museum at the former air base of Soesterberg in 2009.

The Buffalo was the main fighter of the Dutch East Indies Air Force during the Japanese invasion. This 1:1 model, for now still stored in the depot of the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum at Soesterberg AB, will be great addition to the museum!
