I've received the Special Hobby Grand Giveaway promotion kit. The subject will be an out of the box build of Serial No. A186.

I chose the subject, mostly because there are some great photos of Bayetto with this plane, part also his middle name intrigued
me 'Hippolyte'. But the more research I've done, the more color full he becomes... An example is Bayetto's nickname in the RFC
was "Mad Jack" due to his flamboyant stunt flying, including flying into hangar entrances!

Cheers: Kent

I am really looking forward to following your progress on this Build Kent. I finished it recently in the same scheme and although it's a fairly simple Kit it can be a challenge at times. Good luck and I'll be looking over your shoulder, enjoy!
Cheers,
Lance

Beautiful, a fine choice Kent.
I started the model a year ago.
Depending on what you have in mind, this will be a quick model - or a real challenge.
I have decided on the latter.
Probably in a week or two I will mount the two wings to the fuselage.

No matter what your choice will be, I wish you a lot of fun and joy in building the little "Bullet"

So I'm off to a new beginning

I have indeed been looking forward to this!

And again, I must say it seems to be the perfect kit for a new start!

I'm using the 'Les Casques de Cuir' (Leather Helmets) 3D work as I guide, for some updates and detailing.

The page is in French which I cannot read. It looks like there hasn't been any updates recently?
But the 3D digital work is great.

Cheers: Kent

Your mods look fantastic Kent. I think your build is going to be inspirational to the point of making Me pick up one of these kits!

Good to see you getting into it Kent!
I may be telling you how to suck eggs here, have you tried copying and pasting the french into google translate at all?
