Album info
The DHC Chipmunk as seen in The Black Island - with the bubble canopy and spats on the wheels. Interior rebuilt with side-wall detail, new seats and floor and new instrument panel for the pilot. Also sanded down the raised detail and rescribed panels. Propeller and spinner have also been reprofiled to a better shape.
