JF Chipmunk Update Available

Was playing around with 1-b paints to see if they could be used on 1-b2 bubble canopy
some will, some will not
fuse textures line up however wing textures do not...(wing tips, main wing and flaps)


Here is one of Peters G-ANWB which looks very good with the bubble top...
Peter I hope you don't mind me attemping to get a few of you paints to work on the B2

No problems, looks nice! Just don't like the thin u/c legs on this version. I am past caring what colours anyone puts on anything tbh! It will be quite a while until I get to the bubble canopy version! - probably.
 
Is that the one the old Airfix model was presented as, Peter?

Ha Ha. Well done Myles. I wondered if anyone would realise it! The blue in the fuselage bar has been corrected though to the proper 'Cambridge University Blue'!
I have also uploaded a Southampton University Air Squadron example.

Nice. Very nice...... :applause: The hangar's filling up nicely :)

I hope you won't mind me asking Peter but apart from N26JH are there any plans for U.S. and/or Canadian civil registered skins further down the line ?

Hi Kevin,
Yes, I have CF-JAG and N4KV on my list. Most of the US and Canadian Chipmunks are either finished in RCAF/CAF yellow(which I will be painting anyway) or are - in my opinion - those horrible flat-engined squared tail monstrosities, which I will not paint on a real Chippy!
