Tintin: The Black Island Project

That Chippie looks superb ! I want to fly one around the house right now  I think I'll go see if I have one in the stash and do a quick build today !

You're sounding like me... I know when a build hits a sweet spot because it conjures up a desire to play a flight sim game. All of a sudden I want to fly around.

great looking Chipmunk, ive built a tigermoth from the same album 

That one's on my list as well. Do you have a build log so I can steal all your good ideas?   

ive got a link to my photobucket album, showing all my tintin themed builds

Sweet wares!!  I like the "shark sub"... (sorry, I'm not familiar with Tintin, which is a travesty, I know...  ) , too cool...

Did that canadian canopy come with the kit?
Must get myself a chippie and do something with it.. Thinking hat is on...

Yep. You get a choice of canopies with the kit. It's an ancient Airfix reboxing, so be prepared for some RIVETS! I think they converted the London phone book into braille.

You scratch built the SHARK SUB!!? You're my hero. It looks AWESOME! Which kit did you use as a base?

[Spey_Phantom]

thanks, i used revell's 1/72 Me262 as a basis 
and a spare canopy of a Matchbox 1/72 Meteor NF.14.

it is a beautiful collection of tintin related models, and the shark is one of my favorites 

[strobez]

Oooh... I just checked my Tintin album (Red Rackham's Treasure) and I think the Tamiya 1/100  Me 262 will be just about perfectly sized for a 1/72ish representation of the Shark sub... 

(runs off to add a project to Scalemates...)

[strobez]

Ok... so I got excited.

Here's a look at the first bit of my attempt at a shark sub.
