DHC-1 Chipmunk Flying Model Kit 903

Details & care

GUILLOW'S: DEHAVILAND CHIPMUNK AIRPLANE MODEL KIT #903 - Successor to the world famous Tiger Moth biplane, the D.H. Chipmunk was the first original design by deHaviland Canada and was built in quantity in Canada and in Great Britain for R.A.F. Primarily used as a basic trainer to provide air cadets with elementary flying instructions prior to going onto jet aircraft training. The parent Canadian company produced a total of 218 DHC-1’s. One thousand fourteen were built by deHaviland in the U.K., including both military and civilian versions. As a civilian aircraft, the Chipmunk is often seen an aerobatics competition. It performed its maiden flight on 22 May 1946 and was introduced to operational service that same year. As of April 2021, it was estimated that around 500 Chipmunks were still in existence, with many operating in Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, and the United States.
