Hello,

I read somewhere that the Hotchkiss 1909 was lighter and generally more used than the Hotchkiss 1914, which was too heavy.

So I took the opportunity to buy both machine gun!!! The 1909 is equally beautiful!

I will choose which used later.

I will make a mold for a pair of cylinder.

Regards

nice update louis,i lways enjoy your builds. i saw somewhere that the 1914 hotchkiss was used alot by ground troops on a tripod. it must have been used on some aircraft or else why did gaspatch make one. i did not research this before but i wonder which aircraft used it. have  lot of books and datafiles i must have a look.

Thank you!

The biggest parts of the gun ready to be glued...









The two parts glued together ... of course the wrong place.



The good one and XF18 Tamiya:



The handle of the gun and the trigger.




The groove is engraved with small tool shaped screwdriver.

Louis, that is incredible! I wish I could do half as good in 1/32. You are a true master craftsman..

Thank you very much!

that's all there ... except for the sight too fragile, the cable from the trigger and a bit of paint retouching.

 Louis,
That's one beautiful QL Cannon my old friend. Looking forward to seeing this project completed. No doubt she'll be a real show stopper. Well Done my old friend.

Highest Regards,

Simply gorgeous, Louis!  That gun, in itself, was quite the project.
