Thanks Larry...duly noted for future projects !

And that Spitmunk looks awesome ! Was that real or a spoof ?

The Spitmunk is/was real enough, when I worked for Her Majesty, we took it to France for two weeks
For The inter services Gliding Championship (top work if you can get it )
Underneath that camouflage its really an ordinary Chipmunk.
I'll see if I can find my photos of her.

Great little build there......I have fond memories of flying in them in the early '80s at 6AEF at Abingdon, ATC days n great fun....!!!!

The Spitmunk was most definitely real and was used by the Army Air Corps to train pilots in the FAC role.
Airfix magazine did a series of drawings of it many years ago (which I am unable to find in my filing system) from which I built a model of it using the then recently released Airfix kit.
Oh yes, the camouflage was green/brown.

Here is another shot of the BBMF(?) Chipmunk and another one with the inspiration for the build, FROG Magister, Master, and Oxford.

Adios, Larry.

The Spitmunk was very real, WP964, saw it several times around 1975-6ish.  Must have some photos somewhere.  It belonged to the Army Air Corps.

Your retro Chippie looks SO right CSMO! 

One wonders if the scheme could be used on other trainers too? A King Air 350 perhaps?

That's a really nice little collection
