Aviation 72 1/72 Scale DHC1 Chipmunk BBMF WK518/K Die Cast Model

Aviation 72 1/72 Scale DHC1 Chipmunk BBMF WK518/K Die Cast Model Designed and developed immediately after World War II, by de Havilland Canada, as a trainer replacement for the de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane, the DHC-1 Chipmunk first took to the skies at DHC's Downsview base, near Toronto, on 22nd May 1946. Into service within months, the Chipmunk was procured in large numbers by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Royal Air Force (RAF). Now, nearly 80 years after the type first entered service, hundreds of Chipmunks remain airworthy and are in operation around the world. This new version depicts its livery in 2007.   Please note: this is a diecast model. It is already assembled and painted. This is not a model kit.
