Messerschmitt ME109 Buchon

[Arron Davison]

Does anyone no if there is a plan or a kit for this WW2 fighter plane i have looked everywhere its a different shape to the normal 109 it didnt have the same shape nose the spinner wasnt in line with the rest of the nose. lovely looking plane!!!!!!!

[Garbo]

Do you know the Buchon is the Spanish varient with the Merlin engine?

For me its as ugly as sin, much prefer the original.

[Erfolg]

I have got to agree Garbo!

[jeff2wings]

I think it look’s best in original Spanish AF colours , and plenty of other one’s to choose from as a “film star” over the decades, at least it would be easier to hide a engine in it’s cowl.

But how about a Avia S-199 ?? different

[Alan Cantwell]

cor, they have an avia in captivity? the isralies HATED the thing,

[jeff2wings]

And that's why they got Spit's ASP !!

This is the one im on about. The shape im after?

[Richard Harris]

Arron,

Any use?

Here is a link to a ME109bf model at 1/6th scale, the cowl would have to be re engineered to match the shape of the Buchon plus the wing tips are rounded. Should be a pretty easy mod as you would just be copying the shape of the real one.

That's the one Richard that's brilliant i just managed to upload a picture i did it wrong first time!! Silly me!!!

[jeff2wings]

Sorry ,whent a bit off post there,you will need plans for a F or G model there are plenty to choose from and a side elevation of the Buchon for the nose profile ,

[Tom Sharp]

They used engines and cowls off uncomissioned Lancaster bombers.

[jeff2wings]

Sorry not so, the Lanc had a Merlin24 series and the buchion a 45 model and the cowl chin profile is much different ,the under chin radiator on the buchon is for the oil if I remember right.

[Arron Davison]

God you guys are good!!!!! Im not saying it has to be the Buchon its just this shape of 109 i love!!! Im not keen on the other shape 109 where the nose cone is the same size diameter as the nose of the plane and dosnt have the big scoop vent under the nose. So what is the actual name of this style messershmitt ME 109????

[Richard Harris]

I'm with you Arron, there is just something about the 109 that looks 'right'.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am sure I have read that the Kawasaki 'Tony' was also designed around the 109?

[jeff2wings]

It's a Hispano Aviacion HA 1112Kk 1L ,a licence built me 109 G with RR engine

[Arron Davison]

Yes Richard i love the 109 with the scoop under the nose its a beautiful bird... Thats why i would like a good plan or kit for this style of 109.

[Rex Keene]

If you get a Spit V kit you could måske a matching pair: **LINK**

[jeff2wings]

There are no kits or plans that I know of for this plane sadly ,you would have to mod an existing one to this or the earlier me 109 B,D or C version

Hi Arron, I know you are getting a lot of help with this one and that is good, i have read that -(Aircraft Restoration Company of Duxford, Cambs), has restored a Buchon and have a few flying from the field. they might be able to help with some info.

Found these pics in my Duxford file from '09
