Excellent, how was the build?

Łukasz Gliński
Niiiice 👍 Where did you find the chick? She's lovely 👍

B. M.
Thank you chaps.
The figurine is from Reedoak. (reedoak.com)

@ ForestFan: The build was rather disappointing and not without troubles...after all, I find it worse than the Airfix!
It actually looks like an updated Airfix kit, with recessed panel lines and a few details in the cockpit. The canopy is as bad as the one from Airfix, unfortunately.

The Airfix kit has a better fit in general.
On the AZ Model I had to retouch the wing root (even more), build up part of the empennage section and canopy/fuselage fit needed extra attention too.
Well...we do not have many options for a Chipmunk in 72nd. It's either or, and both are not up to date with standards you can find nowadays.
Cheers

Very nice work !

Nice, small model, I like it very much. 👍 Benoit, who is the young Woman? 😉

B. M.
Thanks Jürgen und Bernhard.

As for the woman, some say it's the owners wife.. :-P
In fact this was my first commission build. The trade off is a flight in the original... looking forward to it 🙂

Łukasz Gliński
Wow, lucky you, such a trade off 👍

Museum Collection has a set of decals that are infinitely better than the kit decals. A lot less splicing and white on white overlap.

A friend in our local model club gave me a kit he purchased some time ago. The kit is from 1980. He also got a PE kit for the aircraft in question but not necessarily for the exact kit. A lot of the plastic was supposed to be REPLACED by the PE but I just 'added' to it ad hoc.
*I became really interested in the story behind the aircraft - as reports have it that it had some good success against B-17, B-24 and B-29s.

I have started assembly. I read in a modellers subReddit an opinion on PE parts - good for larger scale models but maybe lost in 1/72.... Let's see when this aircraft is finished! 🙂

Nice work - just like the one at the museum (I just had to Google it as I didn't know what Air Zoo is.) 🙂

Thanks ! Will post more details soon !

You might want to paint some lipstick on that mouth and adjust eyes if you are replicating Sue's plane.
