Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:72 scale College of Air Training De Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk G-AMUC (AV72-26-019) by Aviation72.

This is one of three Chipmunk models released by AV72 wearing the colours of the College of Air Training. Formed in 1960 to train pilots for the national airlines, BOAC and BEA (later to come together and become British Airways), it started with an intake of 21 students and was officially opened by the Duke of Edinburgh in 1961. To gain their commercial pilot’s licence, the student pilots first trained in the Chipmunks and the course they took was equivalent to degree standard today.  This version wears the registration G-AMUC – the real aircraft was de-registered in 1976 and shipped to the USA. Limited edition.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and plastic and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Century Wings, Hobbymaster, Skymax, Calibre Wings and Forces of Valor.

Includes display stand
