I have been very slow working on the Chipmunk because I have also been framing up a 33% Super Decathlon from Hostetler plans which has distracted me quite a bit.

Finally, some progress has been made though. The plane is now at the covering stage. As can be seen, I have applied the white base colour plus some of the red trim.
I am making a scale instrument panel for the plane out of a J-Tec kit. Hopefully, it will come out nice.

This kit has air retracts that lock in the down position if air pressure is lost.

The engine is a Moki 1.8 with a Sullivan Skywriter smoke pump to be fitted.
