A bit of a personal one this.

Colourcoats Light aircraft Grey
Xtreme Metals Aluminium.
Wheels washed with Citadel Nuln Oil
Finished with AK 3rd Gen Matt Varvish which gives a nice satin finish.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,
Alistair

  1. Well done Alistair

  2. I really like that RAF red white and grey trainer scheme. Always nice to add a personal touch to the model.

  3. Beautiful build, Alistair @alistairfgauld! These new Airfix kits are just awesome.

  4. Great looking Chipmunk, Alistair, I, too, had an early “air experience” flight in a Chipmunk, although, if memory serves me right, it was in the yellow trainer livery.

  5. Fantastic job, Alistair! Love the scheme, which you replicated perfectly!

  6. A nice little Chipmunk, Alistair @alistairfgauld

  7. A very nicely built model.

  8. Nice one Alistair, another one off the production line.

    Simon.

  9. A very attractive looking little plane you got there, Alistair.
    Awesome build!

  10. That scheme really pops on the diminutive Chipmunk!

  11. Very nice, love that scheme.

  12. Another winner, Alistair (@alistairfgauld). I was an instructor pilot for a lot of years in the Air Force, so I have a soft spot for trainers, especially ones with cool paint schemes. Well done.
