HY all!
Tihs is my firs post on this forum, but I was around this pages only as a gest.
Got inspierd for this paint sheme from beautiful MIG-21 african profiles, so on with the pictures:














The story behind this one:
Operation Rösselsprung and assassination on Hitler was a major success, and in the late '44 Indipendant state of Croatia (NDH) managed to talk with allies and reach an agreement, because the whole situation had changed and in summer '45 UAS and GB declared war with USSR.
This Bf-109 in original was G-6 she survive '45 and in late'46 went to Spani where she was modified wirh RR Merlin engina, spanis copy of Erla haube, and 20mm gun in each wing and whide main wheels.
Airplane was used at Kurilovec airbase (some 20km SE from capital Zagreb) as a advanced fighter tactics trainer from late'46 to some time in early '55.

And at the end the only known orginal photo of this airplane
 

Best regards from Croatia!

That looks really neat,  karaya. It got me to wondering. If the Czechs were selling their version of the Me109 to the Israeli's, I wonder if the Spanish thought about selling the Buchon abroad? Just imagine all the different small airforce markings you could use.

I forgot to say this is 1/48 academy Butcon with, Fujimi rudder and horizontal stabilizer, Hase guns, drill out exhaust pipe. Decals are combination of 1/72 and 48 leftovers from various ZNDH sets.
