AZmodel 1/72 DHC-1 Chipmunk T.10 – WP860 – No. 12 AEF Turnhouse
Hi There.
One of the reasons I got back into modelling was to build some or all of the aircraft that I was lucky enough to fly in during my time in the Air Cadets.
So, here is my first flight and one of the planes that I learned to fly in. WP860 from RAF Turnhouse. We flew from there during a summer camp but my first time was from Lossie when they came up on a gorgeous sunny Sunday afternoon.
This was a nice little kit and any errors and omissions are my fault entirely. My canopy masking wasn't the best I have done but i'm chuffed to bits with the finished kit and this one is personal and means quite a bit to me.
Painted with,
Mr. Finishing Surfacer White,
Humbrol Arrow Red,
Colourcoats Light Aircraft Grey
and finished with Windsor & Newton Galeria Satin Varnish
As always thanks for looking and any and all criticism and comments are welcome.
Cheers,
Alistair
That's a lovely little Chipmunk, Alistair.
AZmodel kits are not the easiest around and you did a splendid work on it!
Hi Spiros,
Thanks very much.
It just needed a little care fitting but I was surprised how little filler and such I needed.
Cheers,
Alistair
Beautiful build, Alistair.
You must have great eyes to build this tiny model with such accuracy.
Thanks for that.
The eyesight not so good but a decent optivisor helps.
Cheers,
Alistair
Good looking little build! Stands out in that trainer scheme.
Hi Greg,
Thanks so much for that. It is the only scheme that a Chipmunk should be seen in IMHO.
(Tongue firmly in cheek there)

Nicely done Alistair, looks good, another on the to do list !
Thank you so much.
It's a nice little kit, you just need to take a little more care and then lots of masking.
Cheers,
Alistair
