Both good 3 footers, better than the bin I guess. Chippy second aircraft I ever flew in at Moorabbin 1971, a RVAC machine have no idea of the rego. Bugger of a colour scheme at 1/72, be great in 1/48.

The Wackett, tragically lost in the desert for years (the real one not the model) pilot perished after landing when fuel was exhausted miles off course.

I know how you feel Wally, I get that way with a lot of my builds.

But on the bright side they look great over here in the Eastern States and will add more colour to you display case

Two lovely little builds Wal....and just perfect for our new Model Expo category

.
That is indeed a sad story that goes along with the Wackket, but your build is a nice tribute to the lost aeroplane driver.

They look great Wally. Is the Chippy the Airfix kit? Well done anyways

Great to see them finished, and they really look great

Really nice looking models. I'm glad you had to do the masking rather than me.

Masterful work Wally - very nice indeed. Always nice hearing a bit of the history with your builds.

Cheers
