jeroen_R90S Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Congratulations! Unfortunately as much as I like it, it's simply above my budget... BTW, perhaps already known, but the Start Verlag Jasta 14 book contains some very nice images of Jasta 14 Pfalzes from the short period they were operated. I would not be surprised to see some of the schemes in the Pfalz kit. https://www.luftfahrtverlag-start.de/bücher/erster-weltkrieg/ Jeroen Landrotten Highlander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pup7309 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I hope Richard can get a return on this. I’m a bit baffled why none of the current manus don’t put out a Hanriot HD1 - simple fighter with lots of service and marking options. More interest and maybe modellers could make the reach financially. Just saying. mudrat, KiwiZac and vince14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Owens Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Yes, why Caudron & Bristol Scout (CSM) and Pfalz D.VIII (Aviattic) when we’ve no HD.1/2? I could afford all three of the former, but have no interest in any of them. coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 Perhaps if the Pfalz DVIII is successful the Hanriot HD.1/2 might be something Richard may consider for a new Aviattic project? Despite the combined best efforts of Roden, WnW, CSM and Aviattic there are still many WWI aircraft types that have not yet been covered. But my betting is that we all have plenty to build for now (especially at the glacial pace my builds tend to go at!)

europapete Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Well, Richard is always in need of cash, so to me a Hanriot would be a no -brainer. ( actually, kinda surprised he didn't do the Hanriot, would have made waaaaay more commercial sense). Just sayin.

I also like the Pfalz D.VIII especially in the colours that Mikael Carlsson’s machine is in (the grey machine in the box side profiles above). It is a real bruiser and shows what the Luftstreitkrafte would have been fielding in 1919 alongside the Siemens-Shuckert D.III and Fokker D.VII. I’ll be ordering but it will have to wait until my next visit to the UK for me to pack in my luggage to take home to Virginia!

Pup7309 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Don’t know if it was me, which it isn’t, I’d do a HD1 because if you’re going to make something do one people will want and will buy a few of. Then do a more obscure one. Though I applaud recent efforts from CSM etc - truly amazing kits. Id like to see CSM or Kotare have a go at a new tooled SPAD vii or Albatros Diii, but I feel a bit uncomfortable with that out of respect for Roden, but it would be nice Edited April 11, 2023 by Pup7309 europapete and Archimedes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I feel like maybe the HD1 is a little jinxed because it is so obviously a desired subject that manufactures become hesitant to do it because they fear some other company is likely already working on one? Like Aviattic could invest the work time and money to develop it then bam! CSM announces a injection moulded they have in the works which kills their sales?

vince14 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Given the Nieuports and Caudron, you'd think a HD.1 would be right up CSM's street. There's so many good schemes for it. Pup7309, esarmstrong, firefly7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
