lancfan's Chipmunk Blitz build - *** FINISHED ***

Post by lancfan »

I will build this Chipmunk next saturday, it is the new boxing but the decals aren't and hail from 1996, but have not decided which aeroplane to model yet.

Nice! If it wasn't for a show I'm going to next Saturday I'd be tempted by another blitz as well.

Lots and lots of rivets! It's a good choice.
I blitzed one of these back in Blitzbau IV

Great aircraft is the chippie and that is a smart one from the earlier blitz there Ian. Alas, I may miss most of this if it's during the day as we might be going to York.

Really looking forward to this one, you have got to love the Chippie. My first flight as an Air Cadet at Finningley in the 70s (cough).
Best Regards

That is great, David.

I will be watching you on and off as there is lots of good sports on TV today. And Skyfall just been released on Bluray and came yesterday (haven't seen it yet!), so I have today well planned.
