About this model

The Chipmunk succeeded the Tiger Moth as the RAF's primary trainer from 1950, introducing generations of pilots to military flying over more than three decades. The T.20 variant found a second life with flying clubs, private owners and air experience organisations, while the type continues to serve today with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight for tailwheel currency training.

This kit arrives as a plastic sprue set with instruction sheet, paint guide and decal sheet, allowing you to build one of three genuine paint schemes.
