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 can confirm that ermeio is right)

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

Great news. I'll have a Belgian, an Italian and a floatplane at CSM prices!

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

The post begun with Lukgraph Hanriot HD1, 2 and then derived to CSM new release for 2024, this is is such great news at affordable price!!
