We show that for the second Painlevé equation y″ = 2y3 + ty + α, the Bäcklund transformation group G, which is isomorphic to the extended affine Weyl group of type Â1, operates regularly on the natural projectification χ(c)/ℂ(c, t) of the space of initial conditions, where c = α - 1/2. χ(c)/ℂ(c, t) has a natural model χ[c]/ℂ(t)[c]. The group G does not operate, however, regularly on χ[c]/ℂ(t)[c]. To have a family of projective surfaces over ℂ(t)[c] on which G operates regularly, we have to blow up the model χ[c] along the projective lines corresponding to the Riccati type solutions.
