NCIS, The finish you put on your model is exceptional. I can only hope mine turns out half as well. I'm planning a custom scheme as well. With all due respect to Mr. Scholl, another copy of his plane is not needed. The only Chipmunk I ever seen in real life was the Frank Ryder Oreck XL version. It looked like a real underdog sitting amoungst the high powered modern aerobats ,and past and present warbirds assembled at Willow Grove that year.
