mathy Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Hi, just a quick build is this new tool Airfix Chipmunk in 1:48. Add Brassin wheels and Eduard PE`s. Decals are OOB showing off one of just two camoflaged British Army Chipmunks. WP964 was the sole based in the UK (the other was based in Germany).

Jonners Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 That's an unusual and very nicely-painted Chippie, Mathy. Great work. Okay, I'll be the first to point it out, then: Royal Air Force, Royal Navy, but British Army! ☺ Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 It is nice but a shame the warped wings were overlooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 A superb finish! But my first look said something is wrong with the wings? Or is it a parallax error? Just checked my kit, but they are straight. However, the weathering is spot on! Superb photography as always! Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc the Builder Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 You really went to town on the weathering, it looks great! The wings is an issue though, building two of these kits myself at the moment I discovered this also. Strait out of the box the are warped because the location pins are in the wrong location. I took them off but I'm still a little worried regarding the outcome. Will post once done. But again the finish on this kit is really nice, well done.

Lord Riot Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Beautifully painted and weathered, hyper-realistic that. How did you get those little white squares on the inner tyre rims? Very nice detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing the pins to the wing halves works but one needs to ensure the warp is checked before gluing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul, yes indeed, I tried to get some of this bending out and then I glued the wings clamped between some strait metal parts in the hope that I have corrected this issue. It looks better but I'm still not totally convinced. Just hoping when the're painted up it is less noticable. Time will tell I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
