De Havilland Chipmunk. The 2nd attempt…


Recommended Posts

Hey friends,

after my silver Chippie  I finished my second one. Problems like the warped wings were fixed, as same way as on the first one. 
On this one I used eduard PE parts and wanted to show a little bit of the engine. The thin PE parts for the cowling were a great help.

After a lot of research for this restored version, I disagreed with Airfix advices for the light blue cross on the fuselage. Finally I got a good  picture from Andrew Goldsmith wich shows the true „story“.  So the artwork on the kitbox is a little bit confusing and I am sure it is wrong. Sorry Mr. Airfix!

But many Thx to Airfix for the good support for a new clear part, wich was cracked! Thank you very much! 
but enough waffling, on to the pic’s

Hi Andy,

 

I am not a great fan of Chipmunks, and I am sure I am missing out a lot, but I can recognize a great model when I see one, and yours is truly outstanding!

 

All my congratulations!

Looking very good.  I thought the kit engine detail wasn’t bad but that has taken it up another level.t

Thank you very much, glad that you like it
