Hi rye,

I assume you are building the Super Chipmunk which is highly modified from the original military trainer.
On that basis, as implied by TB any modifications does not make much difference.

You may look at post #7 where you find the dimensions of the full size original Chipmunk if you are concerned with scale dimensioning.
