Great choice of subjects!
The Hanriot has been my favourite WWI aircraft for a while.
This year or at the start of next year we will have these and probably Copper State Models Hanriot... last time I chatted with Edgar it was not so distant from completion and he told me it was a question of months.
The only thing that bothers me in these renderings - and it was also the case of CSM's 3D rendering - is the strange shape of the windscreen, that was not present in any of the Italian Hanriots' pictures that I saw, but it was derived from a set of US drawings for a flying model.
CSM is taking care of this, I hope they will do the same.

Looking forwars to this lucky year

Glad to hear CSM is doing this subject, too.  Injection molded kits are much more affordable for me than resin/3d.

Will be buying from both, prefer plastic, but will see what is not covered by CSM. Congratulations to both for producing the Hanriot.

Very cool indeed! I had not heard CSM was doing the HD-1 - was that announced somewhere?

I hope I did not break any industrial secret here, but Edgar could jump in and confirm for CSM.
AFAIK the Hanriot was in their programs before WNW announced one and it was in advanced state, like their Hansa Brandenburg, then the program was delayed to wait for WNW.
Last time that I asked Edgar he confirmed that now they are in the pipes again and they should be among their next kits ... between 6 and 7 months depending on the success of their Armoured Cars.
Also, we shall expect some new version of the Caudron and hopefully, a G.IV in 1/32
so these are happy days for us, WWI modellers: Lukgraph , CSM, Roden but not forget Mikro-Mir and SpecialHobby

I realize we are getting off topic a little here, but that is good news from Edgar.  Looking forward to some CSM Hanriots, plus a Caudron G.IV.  Sweet!

Any Hanriot in 1:32 scale would be very welcome. A Lukgraph Hanriot would be great, as their resin/3D kits can be built into wonderful models (like e. g. Przemo demonstrates frequently here). A plastic Hanriot would be even better due to its cheaper price and better buildability. But a Copper State Models Hanriot is very hard to beat, their quality is second to none. So these are very very nice news  :)

You're making me happy, Edgar: Your model kits are simply the best! (Sorry for hacking this thread, but I could not resist.. 😊)

Really nice photos.  I had no idea how close the air intakes for the carburetor and the fuel tank were to the pilot.  It's practically in his lap!

James,
 Thanks for the pictures.
Is this the Hanriot that came over from the RAF museum Hendon?

Cheers,
Bob

Yes it is Bob. TVAL sent across an Albatros DVa, an RE8 and a Sopwith Snipe (non-flyable) and in return received a Farman F40 (which needed restoration), the Hanriot (which didn't need too much done to become flyable again) and a very decrepit Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter. Not sure if there was any more involved in the swap, maybe some parts etc

Hi all,
Final renders of the Hanriot HD-1 and HD-2 float in 1:32 scale (there will also be a HD-2 wheeled version).

Hi,

You'll have to watch out for the carburettor outlet on the sides of the Hanriot HD.2 hood (I'm not sure if I'm wrong about the function of these tube outlets).

It was not positioned in the same place as the Hanriot HD.1.

Eduard had made the same mistake.

Hi Arnaud,
I should have stated why I posted the photograph  ;)
It was to show the carburettor air intake position, as you correctly pointed out  :)

Regarding the HD-2, that large hatch looks different from the HD-1 as well.
The renders look nice, although I freely admit I just can't warm up to the Hanriot... I am really happy for those that have been waiting for a long time for a model of this aircraft!

Beautifully done by Lukgraph.  Will wait to see what CSM offers as resin is not really my thing.  All the best to Lukgraph.

Is it too early to write to Santa? I have, after all, been a good boy  ;D

I'm very excited to see these kits in the wild and on the forum.
