VMA131Marine Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Here’s my 1/48 Airfix Chipmunk T.10 in University of Liverpool Air Squadron markings. These aircraft were based at RAF Woodvale. This was a fun and easy kit to build. I used the Kits-World 3-D printed instrument panels and seat belts, which were a measurable improvement over what’s supplied in the kit. I’m already planning my next one. 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Very nice indeed. This looks like an excellent rendition. As you have displayed the engine open could we have some more pictures, close ups maybe?? Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Excellent work there, but I agree with Colin would be nice to see more details. Cheers Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedders Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Very nice. Although I flew in these in the 80s red/white/grey scheme, I always found them a bit gaudy and much prefer the earlier schemes, like this. Great result. Airfix's recent Chipmunk and Mosquito kits are great adverts for de Havilland: looks like a firm with real potential... Justin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Delicious! A superb rendition of the Chippy in what was THE best training scheme IMHO Mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model didn’t place in the contest, but there were a lot of really excellent models in that category. I was just happy I got it finished in time for the show. It certainly was one of the most colourful models in the category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Blievers Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) That's a lovely model, well done Sir! I've only just noticed this myself; possibly the spinners were a pale blue? Are you aware that Liverpool UAS was the last UAS to operate Chipmunks?

I've only just noticed this myself; possibly the spinners were a pale blue? That’s a great photo! One of the aircraft certainly looks like it has a pale blue spinner. The others, including WD365 which is the subject of my model, look darker. The instructions with the decal sheet said roundel blue, so that’s what I went with.

Rod Blievers Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Actually of equal interest to me is WP857 sporting first R/W/LAG scheme (it's ex 2 FTS), it's only the fifth UAS Chipmunk that I've found in this scheme.

Allan31 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Wonderful job on a wonderful aircraft. If I could have one single aircraft for my own personal use it would be this and/or a Ryan ST. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
