Looks good, thanks for the link. I have both their Nieuport 10 and Hanriot HD2, and they are very nicely made. I'm looking forward to this becoming available!

That's quite a good looking model, I hope to see some build logs posted here soon by you 1:72 scale builders.

That it great news, indeed. I have built HR Models Hanriot some time ago and it was a pleasure one. I will certainly get this rare birdie, too.

i took a peek at the h.r. website and i see no 1/48 stuff. are they only doin 1/72 now. at one point they produced alot of 1/48 stuff which is still out there to be found. i have a few of them. honestly i was never really impressed although the photos ive seen of the 1/72 stuff seem to be of higher quality. are they under new management? not to say the kits were absolutely horrid but they were fair in quality of the larger parts but the small stuff was virtually unuseable and oddly i found that the guns,seats and other detail parts were poorly recast eduard and roden parts. by this i mean that it was obviously the same parts as i had i many of my kits but they were produced haphazzardly with misaligned molds and voids from abundant bubbles. i dont mean to be negative i just wonder as it seems they have improved with the newer release if they are under new management and are they planning any 1/48 stuff?

@ Albatros - it sounds as though you're referring to their resin kits - I have no experience of them. This is injection, and their 1:72 injection kits (this will be the 3rd) are very nice indeed. No idea on the management front....

yes i am definately refering to resin kits. i had no idea they had gone injection. i even assumed that the hanriot i heard about a year or 2 ago was resin as i only know them as a resin producer.
