Very fine work on that pair, Krzysiek. I like it very much, I like the Hanriot itself. I will be watching with great interest.

Your color selection is excellent and your painting is terrific!

Thanks!
For time being I have prepared the shape for the base and did imitations of stitching. According to Windsock it starts just behind the inspection panel so contrary to what Eduard presented.

Thanks!

The engine is the hybrid being done from Eduard’s part and Small Stuff leftovers
For the engine assembly I had to do some inner cowling thinning but have not reached the engine running. It barely moves. 
According to photos available the Vickers machine gun was relocated to the centerline of the fuselage in both cases i.e Belgian & Italian. The general idea was to improve pilots access to the gun during the flight

Coming along great! If you're interested, here's what I did with my Hanriot to get the engine the way I wanted it. When I did my HD.1 last year, I did some minor tweaking of the kit parts for the engine, and it ended up looking the part and still spun freely. I assembled the engine the way the instructions asked, with the exception of the intake pipes. the way the instructions showed assembly, the pipes end up on the wrong side of the cylinders, so I put that part on "backwards" and bent the pipes forward to meet the cylinders. I still had clearance, and the pipes looked the way they would appear on a real Le Rhone 9J. only thing I wish I had done was rounded the PE part for the timing cover, but otherwise I'm happy with the result! here's how it looks.

Looking good, K! As good as these look, somehow that stitching really stands out

[KrzysiekK]

Thanks Guys for the support!
I have tried to enhence the outcome that is why started to change those things..and finally have not reached my initial intention.
Current status: 50% of prop running!
Let's move forward and focus on tail now. It is really close to that how it should look like




Seem there will be ONLY rigging left, so almost done!!
