Title: CT-120N DHC-1N Shipmunk RCN Training Aircraft, HMCS Bonaventure, 1961
Post by: Alvis 3.1 on October 31, 2023, 06:34:41 AM

Seen here is the naval version of the better known DHC-1 Chipmunk. Using the excellent training aircraft already in use by the RCAF, the RCN requirements were folding wings, tail hook, and a more robust landing gear. Designated CT-120N "Chipmunk" by the Canadian Armed forces after unificiation, it was also known by the manufacturer designation of DHC-1N "Chipmunk", but was generally known merely as the "Shipmunk". Kit used: Airfix 1/48 Modifications: Folded wings, home made bubble canopy, markings from Belcher Bits decal sheets.
