Marklo Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 So the second of my bookends a G series converted to a Buchon the last 109 variant to be manufactured as late as 1954. Haven’t decided on my intended victim yet, it’ll either be an italeri or a Hasegawa G-6 or possibly a mistercraft G2 or if they turn up a KP S199 which are in the post. More to follow. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Must admit I loved listening and looking at this one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Must say I'm delighted to see a Buchon being done in Spanish colours for a change 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I love the Buchon in that blue camouflage. When I was a young lad there was one in the Kalamazoo Air Zoo in that very scheme. Ive always wanted to do one and hopefully someday ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Poultney Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Ooo looks interesting. It would be nice if more Buchons wore their actual colours (other than the ones that have been modified to look like 109s) Edited May 24, 2021 by Adam Poultney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 My intended victim. Mistercraft G2 just needs a new nose. Seems like a nice enough kit nicely tooled but a lot of flash so the molds have seen a lot of action. But the decal sheets are a bonus particularly the Hungarian national markings which will save me a bit of masking for the G6 I’m doing for the GB. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Time for some painful nose surgery. Otherwise I think the Buchon is just a standard G2 ( must check it against my plans) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Started on the new schnoz. First dry fit 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Trimmed and fitted. I’ll milliput the top and mold the lower cowl, hence the balsa buck. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Mold for the lower cowl. Made two just in case from 1mm and .5mm card. Milliput on and sanded. Trimmed and fitted the molding. I went with the 1mm one as it gives me a bit more margin for sanding. Next to blend it in with filler. I’m not sure wether I’ll mold or milliput the exhaust headers, probably mold.

exdraken Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Wow, nice scratch building/ molding work here! Definitely above my capabilities! And the Buchon is great anyways, especially in Spanish colors 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Getting there need time set in the exhausts and add the ’eyebrows’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
