Wish someone would convert those damned buchons, perfect example of how to take a nice looking aircraft and turn it into one of the ugliest....

it has been done in a couple of cases, problem is getting hold of DB engines in running order (and keeping up with the maintenance demands that come with it), plus the conversion can be a bit of a pain, cos you need not just an engine, but new cowlings, propeller + gov, spinner, supercharger, linkages... basically everything new from the firewall onwards.. quite an expensive game for a plane that wouldn't be genuine anyways. You should really be desperate to have an accurate looking Bf109!


Let's put it in this way: seeing/hearing a genuine DB or BMW engine is a rare, rare occurrence nowadays, and surely one to remember!

we have an original Fw190 at duxford here in the UK, a treat to behold for sure.

Do we?

Beg your pardon your right, it comes from German Restoration Company.

It's probably been on loan to Flying Ledgends, or has a regular slot.
