    You are a brave man to be so far away from your preferred scale Antonio, three little beauties resulting from your skills. I left 1:48 Scale for 1:32 when I found the former too small to work with, I can't begin to imagine working in 1:144!
Cheers,

Dear Lance  and Gregory, thanks for the kind words, indeed the result is satisfying to me seen the difficulties I encountered in this walk out of my comfort zone!

As I said I will take the three microplanes to the finish line as fast as possible, but I am not so pleased by this build, the difficulties were far above the fun and enjoyment, that's why I decided not to rig or maybe rig them in a simple way I have not yet in my mind...

Yes my comfort zone is 1/48, then I would say even 1/72 is a "borderline" experience...

OK thanks again and stay tuned!

Good job, Antonio!

I understand the decision not to rig them, as this is a very challenging task in this scale in case of a kit - I had to develop a special method for my scratchbuilds to be able to rig them and it basically requires building the plane twice.

Cheers

Thanks Ondra for taking time to comment,
as I said your ideas about rigging are very good and your skills are far beyond mine! So I am not able to follow your way.
I will see if I can find an easier (although less goodlooking) way.

Thanks Rick, you're always so kind!

Hallo friends,
I worked a few hours during the weekend and I managed to finish my second Hanriot trio, dedicated to the 78th Squadriglia, I decided not to rig them because my thick fingers were too clumsy to manage the wires around the struts and the risk was to break things, so here they are, I know they're imperfect but I think all in all the overall effect is not that bad!

Should WNW ever produce a 1/32 HD1 I would indeed buy the kit!

Here they are on the ground:





Let's go with Fucini's 12 skulls plane:








Nardini's little devil mount:








Here's Chiri's black tail:






(sorry for this photo out of focus...)

Later I'll post the photos with the details of each pilot in the "SHow us your... " thread

Thanks for watching

Very well done Trio Antonio! I always have to remind Myself how TINY 1/144th Models really are to appreciate that anyone can get terrific results in this scale!

Thanks Rick, I will borrow the giant hand Ondra uses in his builds to show how small they are!!!

Thank you Giuseppe!
In Italy today is your "name-day" i.e. when St. Joseph is celebrated!
