Charles Hart Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hi – I am in the process of completing my Dennis Bryant DHC1 Chipmunk build (two years in the making) and have been looking for suppliers of bespoke decals/rub downs etc. The model is ic powered and will be finished using satin/matt Klass Kote from Fighteraces. This is my first plan built model, any help would be much appreciated. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) I've been very happy with the decals from Pyramid Models. Lovely model BTW, have a Bryant Chippy ready to go myself, but not to the detailed standards of yours Charles.

alan p Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Bit off topic that looks like a Brian Taylor Gladiator wings in the background? Do Like the chipmunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Robson Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 A part built B. Taylor Gladiator in the first picture? Great job on the Chipmunk. I built the Airsail one and put all the rivet detail on when I first retired, it won the scale trophy at our club. I am currently flying a Seagull Chippy 80" span, fly's great but only semi scale.

Charles Hart Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Thanks for the kind comments – I will check out Pyramid Models. The Chippy will be Laser 70 powered and the Gladiator is having a Saito 120 radial up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pentland 1 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Where did you get the orange day-go paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Hart Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Hi David – the day-glo paint is from Tamiya – TS-96 Fluorescent Orange. Spray light coats over a white base coat until the correct colour is achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pentland 1 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Thanks for that Charles. I’d searched for day-glo in the past and could only find Humbrol. I could not afford to buy enough tiny tins to do an rc model. Super nice chipmunk by the way. The level of detail makes it look much larger than 69”.

David Hazell 1 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 That's incredible! Love the rivet detail - how did you approach that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Hart Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Thanks Danny – David, I followed Danny's Chipmunk build (Poor mans Spitfire) which is on this site under 'THE WORKSHOP' - Chip Shop – some great tips and hints on producing scale models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
