JanLou Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Dear Kevin - Thanks for the update. Glad Robin is OK and if he is reading these posts - please remind him to let us know as soon as the models are ready so we can order from him.

Out2gtcha Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Wow, If the price is even remotely decent Id take one. Im not as big of a Munk fans as evident in this thread, but there are just so many cool schemes, and lest face it, its just a neat little bird.

GrahamF Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Looks great and rather than pining for an injection moulded kit ( which in all reality may never happen) everyone who loves the aircraft should buy this.

geedubelyer Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Thanks for sharing this excellent news Kev. Glad to hear that Robin is getting back in business. Coincidentally I just found my air cadet log book and now have the serials for a couple of subjects of this kit. Look forward to more news and following your build of the original. Cheers.

Iain Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I'd like a few of these to build for friends - I seem to be spending a lot of time with Chipmunks these days! Some images I took at the beginning of June at the BullChip Meet (Bulldogs and Chipmunks), Abbevlle, France. 20 ship formation - 19 Chipmunks, one Bulldog (us). With apologies in advance to anyone that's already seen these on Facebook. Taxiing out: Lining-up on the active for a formation take off (groups of three): And some from within the formation: Blue skies...

Good news about Robin. I'd like one of these, a good few flying hours with 5 AEF in the 1970s should be enough to overcome my usual avoidance of resin kits.

JanLou Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Just aquired a Chipmunk WP964 - the original “Spitmunk” - would really like to build a model to match - but the ones in the smaller scales ate very uninspiring “representations” Robin’s look great. mozart, LSP_Kevin and Iain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Brilliant JanLou - I know WP964! Were you at Abbeville this year? I think she should be somewhere in the formation I posted earlier.

JanLou Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hi Iain - Unfortunately not! The Chipmunk in the photos is very nicely painted as WP 964 as she was when painted in Army colours. The real WP 964 is in South Africa as ZU-DXO - which begs the question as to what paint scheme she should wear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Aha - my bad - I took it on face value that the serial was correct for that airframe - and not an 'impostor'! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) A Chipmunk for me too please! Cheers: Kent Edited August 17, 2019 by kkarlsen Paul in Napier, Out2gtcha, Iain and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
