Andy Dyck Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) This is my rendition of Airfix nice Chipmunk kit. I removed location pins to get no warped wings and it works quite good. The 3 clear parts are little bit tricky, but it works too with a little patience. I used Mr. Hobby Super Fine Silver 2 and for the finish, Alclad Light sheen. Also did some riveting on the fuselage. Enough waffling on to the pic’s! Have a nice weekend! Cheers Andy Edited February 5, 2022 by Andy Dyck 53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Oh wow what a cracker Andy This looks lovely. It's a lovely kit , I am just finishing mine off. I thought looking at the first two photos that you had given up with your trademark and lovely backround photos, but you certainly have not disappointed as the back drops look fantastic fella. Great work all round. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
