gazza l Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Just finished these two Airfix kits, it's the new tool Folland Gnat and the very old tool DH Chipmunk. After my 3 month Lightning build/slog, I fancied something a little easier. Both kits were great to build with just a little added detail and the Chippie having a serious rivet reduction. Thanks for looking, Gazza L 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Fox Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Chipmunk is superb. Love the RAF trainer theme, I have lots lined up in this fascinating category. They look great together. Very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 They are really nice, well built little trainers. Like you said, really colourful. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnylurve Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The Gnat is technically the best of the two, but as a former Air Cadet, the Chipmunk really steals the show. Superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidave4 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 You have a lovely pair there....and thats not something I would say to a lot of people! Chipmunk is a favourite of mine but your Gnat is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 A lovely couple of aeroplanes, but the Chipmunk is the star! You've done a great job with that old kit, and that colour scheme does bring back memories! Excellent work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 They look great, the paint demarkation is very neat. Looks like you've sanded all the rivets off the chipmunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Very nice planes, Chipmunk takes me back to Air Cadet days, and later helping run flights for Cadets while based at Marham in the mid 70's... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Excellent pair of models. The Chipmunk is one of the best I've seen here. The Gnat looks just right. If one could scale onseself down one could jump in and go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
