I am not sure what scale accessories I need. Pilot decals ect.
Am I right in thinking 1/6th accessories would suit best. Or will 1/5th items look better |

I have the Carl Goldberg kit. The cock pit is only fitted with one seat (so not exact scale) but it is towards the back anyway. I started building yesterday and got the tail done and started on the first wing today. All good so far but plenty of work to go. but with the weather as it is there is not much flying to be done anyway. |

2285 forum posts 111 photos | I think the wingspan of the original was 31 ft 4 in
with the original chipmunk having a wingspan of 34 ft 4 in
I think it works out to a scale of 1/5.8 |
