Looks like the conversion is coming together, Tom (@tcinla). It's nice when everything seems to fit when doing something this extensive. Almost paint time.

Looking really good Tom!

Mmmmmm, looks great Tom!
Great job on the aluminum "lacquer".
Last plane's rudder black cross (7 99 at the formation photo) seems to be a tad thinner than the rest?
If so, I just love all those small - so familiar - variations!

That's the racks for the Oerlikon rockets. By this time (1964) these airplanes were being resuscitated back in Spain from participation in the Ifni War in the Spanish Sahara, so many of them would have had the racks removed at this point. Mine will have racks, but no rockets, since I haven't seen one in this scheme that was armed.

Tom, just wondering if you could include a picture of the instrumentpanel later - I guess there might be one in the conversion that is a bit different from the kit to correspond with the one in the actual planes, and I was just wondering how it might look.

Aaaaannnnnddd ----- FINISHED! (That's my story and I'm sticking to it)

The kit decals allow you to do either a Buchon of 71 Escuadron De Casa Bombareo used in the Ifni War or the Buchon in the Museo del Aire in Madrid. Going with the photo I have of the formation (above), I modified the decals to do a Buchon of 7 Escuadron De Casa Bombareo at Seville in 1964, toward the end of the airplane's service in the Ejercito del Aire.

Most photos of the Buchons of this unit show them either without the underwing rocket racks, or with the racks but no rockets. I opted for the latter. That way I can keep the rockets and put them on my Greymatter Buchon, which is the Ifni War markings option.

This is a really impressive model in person and I highly recommend it for 109Nutz who want to have this final version of the 109. I would recommend you have a couple conversions under your belt before doing this, but it's not really difficult.

This conversion really came out well, Tom (@tcinla). The aluminum looks perfect, and the decals give it a really distinctive look.

Great build, Tom @tcinla!
Nice, striking scheme!
Great catch on the "Semi-matte aluminum". Would look nice on my-to-build (still idling) Ejército del Aire Ju 290 Airmodel vac, though I can spot a lot of panelling at the pics...oh well, we'll see...
