A prettty little diecast model of the De Havilland Canada Chipmunk 1 that was the primary two-seat, single-engined primary trainer aircraft for the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Air Force and several other air forces post WW2. The Chipmunk was the first true postwar aviation project of De Havilland Canada and a great success for the company. Today, over 500 DHC-1 Chipmunk (affectionately known as "Chippie") airframes remain airworthy with more being rebuilt every year. Quite a small model, but perfectly formed.
