Reini78 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) #30/2015After, the I-16, Bf109E-1 and Bf109F-4, this is my dad´s last Spanish contribution for 2015.Academy boxing of the Hobbycraft kit, mostly built oob. Replaced the crappy kit canopy with a Hasegawa one, for that some putty and re-scribing was neccessary in the fuselage area after the canopy.Used a piece of sponge for the mesh in the nose air-intake and a plastic rod for the rod. Added some structure in the wheel wells, smoothed down the wrong tire tread. The black exhausts stripes are provided as decals in the kit, but they are slightly wrong so my dad painted them.Model Master Azure and Tamiya Titanium Silver for the camo.There would be more things to correct, as with all Hobbycraft/Academy kits. But to avoid a never ending story my dad put a fork in it Edited September 11, 2015 by Reini78 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesa Jussila Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Very nice result. When I'm looking this model I just strted to think how much original Bf-109 was modified in Spain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Really good. I loved that kit. I masked the black around the exhaust rather than use the decals, which were the only bit of the kit that were a let down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 A very fine looking Buchon! I like in particular the silver paint scheme. You wrote that you used Tamiya Titanium Silver: is this X-32 from the acrylic-range or a rattle can? I think it would look very convincing for British High Speed Silver, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 What a beauty 😍! A very nice collection of Spanish 109’s too. I love Spanish aviation subjects. Modelmaster Azure for the underside; many thanks for this information. I have been trying to find a decent match. Also for the ‘Peugeot Blue’ for some Buchons. For the latter, Humbrol railway range ‘Garter Blue’ is a good match, but not very nice to use with an airbrush 🙁. The black stripes look superb and very precise on this model. By this time, the Buchons look like racing aircraft, very menacing but stylish. You’ve done this kit great justice. Best regards TonyT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 A lovely job on this by your Dad again Reini, as we've come to expect. Silver planes are growing on me but the camo'd F-4 really jumped out at me in those last couple of photos, guess who just ordered a set of 1/72 LF decals for one of them.

Used the bottled version. Makes a good surface and has finer pigments than Tamiya Aluminium. With the right flat coat it has a nice dull, almost greyish look. 9 hours ago, TonyTiger66 said: What a beauty 😍! A very nice collection of Spanish 109’s too. I love Spanish aviation subjects.

As far as I remember, decals for that scheme were included in the original Hobbycraft kit. 7 hours ago, stevehnz said: A lovely job on this by your Dad again Reini, as we've come to expect.

My dad and I chose that scheme because it's a nice eyecatcher and rarely seen. Looking forward to yours someday 😉 If you haven't used LF Models decals before, they can be tricky and need some more careful handling. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used some Kora ones, same company? They went on OK but I was concerned with opacity under Finnish markings so painted white disks, this hasn't seemed an issue for others so maybe I was over cautious. What was your experience with this? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was your experience with this? Steve. Yes, same company. My dad used them only 2-3 times. As far as I remember opacity was a slight problem, yes. They are also thin and tend to wrap around when being applied. Not sure now but I think back then, one of the fuselage number decals wrapped and my dad couldn't unwrap it anymore and we had to buy a new decal sheet. 13 minutes ago, Mig88 said: Lovely!!
