Completed: scratchbuild 1/32 Hanriot HD.2 completed
« on: February 06, 2019, 03:32:24 AM »
I had planned to do a scratchbuilt Hanriot for some time now and this group build has given me the push to do it now.  I think its fitting to do a scratchbuild to honor Des.  Even though I had limited correspondence with Des, he encouraged and motivated me in my previous WW1 builds and those participating in this forum are continuing that.

I can't show any unstarted kit picture because there are no 1/32 scale kits of this plane.
I'll be posting pictures when I have something started.

Looking forward to seeing all the great builds in this endeavor!

This is a great tribute build - scratch of a seldom seen model of a plane and a seaplane to boot. Looking forward it.

Cheers

Wow a Hanriot , really? I'm so looking forward to following along with this project my friend. The Hanriot is one of those aircraft I've always wanted to scratchbuild myself. The best of luck to you in the GB .

And so it begins...

I did get a WNW Clerget engine and Eduard Vickers MG for this build.  The engine was pretty simple.  I added valve springs and spark plug wires.

Basic engine


Completed




Next I cut out the tail surfaces from 0.040" plastic card and float parts from 0.030" card.


Float construction is pretty straightforward.




I'll be finishing the basic floats soon and probably go back to the tail surfaces.
