BBMF Airfix DHC Chipmunk in WWII RAF Training Command colors.

[CSMO]

Strictly OOB build. I have seen Tucanos and Hawks in Battle of Britain colors. I think the BBMF should do one of their Chippies in this scheme to honor the folks in the RAF Training Command. Paint is Xtracolor and Humbrol. Decals are from the Red Box issue and the scrap-box.

Adios, Larry.

What a good idea - that looks so right!

[Captain Canada]

Does that ever look right ! Well done ! What were the two colours used for the upper surface ? Love 'em !

[dadlamassu]

Very nice!

Reminds me of the Spitmunk

[Mossie]

Very plausible '46 build, looks great.

[The Rat]

That is absolutely beautiful!

Looks good (reminds me of a Miles Magister with a lid on it!).  Any more photos to share?

That looks so right - really neat little build 

Silly question but what are the "pool ball" like markings on the forward wing roots ?

[CSMO]

I don't know what the "billiard ball" markings are. I used them from the kit decals from the current Airfix red box BBMF Black/White airplane. Adios, Larry

I used Xtracolor RAF Dark Green, Earth, and Humbrol Trainer Yellow for the "Sand & Spinach" camouflage. Adios, Larry.

An excellent idea and well modelled too. I should suggest that to the BBMF, seriously.

Got to agree there  looks cracking in that colour scheme
The "pool ball" like markings are around the fuel filler caps, Red for AVGAS, if I remember right.
The  "yellow" circle most probable represents the brass filler cap that we unscrewed to put the fuel nozzle
In, and the black and white circle will be the direct reading fuel gauge.
It's over twenty-five years since I last had the pleasure of Working on the Chipmunk
And one of my favorite aircraft too

Been ages since I fueled a Chippie, but that's what I was going to suggest too.

The caption on Google Images states that it is a Royal Army aircraft stationed at Middle Wallop. Adios, Larry.
