No..........I really do not want to form my own mold and cast a new cowling. If this airplane is no longer available, or no parts can be had for it, then I will get rid of it. I am not into this hobby as a modeler...........I assemble and fly. i do kit build and have currently 15 planes that are kitted, but that is not where I want to be now..........That is why I choose your models, the build quality is good, and I do not have to spend alot of extra time on fixing problems. That is why I was hoping that there was a cowling in stock to replace this one. Either as a replacement part or as one from a bad kit. This is a great flying airplane and I really do not want to part with it.
again............thanks for your help.
CMP is no longer manufacturing the plane... however other .40 Chipmunk cowlings should fit.
You don't have to form and cast a new cowl either.
You can use the existing broken cowl and layer fiberglass over that. Apply epoxy then let dry. Repeat.... and sand until smooth, then paint.
