Kingkit have a Pegasus 1/72 scale Buchon (don’t think this is the same as mine, as the manufacturer had a funny name!).
Go to www.kingkit.co.uk and click on “search stock”. Just type in “Hispano” and it’ll be the first one in the list.
Hope this helps!

Now I thought I would find some realy good info! If someone should know about a good 1/72 scale kitt of a Buchon, I would be very interested. (not the Classic Plane kitt as this kitt only has decals for spanish Buchons and I already have that one).
Great work you guys. I’ll post might some of mine later.

Stieg – my Buchon came from Hannants earlier this year. If I can find the kit, I’ll let you know.

Ugly Buchón?
How about this one?

Very nice Chap’s
Great stuff guy’s 🙂 .
I once long a go had about 18 from 1/72 up to the biggest I could afford at the time :rolleyes: .
Mostly my Favorite types from all over, I made the mistake of leaving my stepson Daniel unattended one day and when I got back he told me he had been playing war with my models 😮 😮 .
Well it was a short sharp war :p , With only my 1/24 scale Boyington F4U Corsair surviving, but with some what modified folding wings, landing gear and detailed engine removed, fixable but have it in a box in the wardrobe.
Boys will be boys :rolleyes: , Mad at the time but I got over it…just 🙁 .
Hand’s are not that good now with the M.S. and I don’t think I would be happy building them not up to my old standard of detail, Sh*t happen’s.
Liked all the Models except Dazs ugly Buchon(see if you can give it a nose job, maybe one off a real 109 of the same scale Daren :p ) Cheer’s all, Tally Ho! Phil :dev2: .

I started trying to find as many marks of Spitfire as possible in 1/72nd scale 20-odd years ago.
I can’t remember how many I ended up with, or built.
Was it the Hasegawa one that came with the optional 2-bladed prop and flat canopy?
I came to a fairly abrupt halt when my Dad found me a Seafire 47 (I think) and a Spiteful, both short-run injection mouldings. They’re still around somewhere, must have another go at them one day.

Very nice, Chris!

Nice idea, Daz
think I can show something interesting here for you guys. Some of you may have seen my models in other forums, for those who dont know: I do only 1/32 scale, all my models built as “cutaways” with lots of scratchbuilding, last but not least on every model prop and lights are working, here are a few:
Seafire FR 47, old Matchbox kit, hardly modified, prop is working like the original one contra-rotating ( small gear in the spinner integrated)
Nr 2: “No Guts no glory”, old REVELL p-47 kit, hardly modified and detailed
Nr.3: “Hun HUnter XVI”, same kit, same story
Nr.4: REVELL BEaufighter
Nr5: “Doug Baders” Hurricane
and many more, collection is now about 40 models and still growing..

Daz,
I’m shocked. 😮
You have a Dambusters book on your shelf. 😮
You do realise there were no Spitfires in the Dams raid? :rolleyes:
😀
Ahhh, but a Spit did take photos post-raid… 😉
