Just finished the 1/48 Eduard HANRIOT HD.I
It's a decent kit with good fit.


Hanriot Hd.1, no 24 was used in the 9th Escadrille Beige "Le Chardon" (Thistle) by Adjuntant Willy Coppens (37 verified kills, 35 of them were balloons) at the beginning of summer in 1918. On the 19th of May he became an ace on shooting down his 5th balloon over Houthulst in the cockpit of number 24.

Nice finish, and well done on the rigging, too!

Prost!

Gorgeous job. The sunburst on the tail-plane looks perfect, as does the whole camo scheme. -- Al

Nice work. Somewhat underappreciated role in the conflict.The HD 1 was sandwiched by the Nieuport 17 and the Spad 7. The aircraft despite being a French design derived more notoriety flown by Belgian and Italian squadrons. A good chunk of the HD 1's were manufactured under license in Italy.
