Les Moore Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I have had this kit for so long, I cannot remember who gave it to me. For that I apologize...just in case you see this. It was a difficult build as parts were missing, and no real "instructions" were included. I searched the net for photos, and found one I would mimic. Built OOB (bag) and painted with MM enamels. Rigged with .005 Ethicon stainless steel wire. The wing roundels are replacements from a MicroScale sheet. The originals exploded in water. The rudder and side decals are from the kit. A three day build and #6 for the year. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 What ever difficulties you had with the build it's turned out beautifully. A very attractive looking aircraft and scheme. Great work. I've got the HR Models Pup in my stash so I hope I don't have the same issues with the decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Beautifully done! I have all of their injection kits in my stash and really should get around to building them.. Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Moore Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Meatbox...I would whole heartedly suggest that you overcoat all the kit decals with liquid decal film at least twice. Then just cut them out close the the lines, and go from there. I hope you do not encounter any difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the 'Bam!' on the side of your Hanriot the Pup has some very individual markings that I'm not going to be able to replace easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Looks very good, despite the many problems. I had built one of these just last year in French CAM Dunkirk livery. Have to consider myself lucky that the decals did not shatter. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invidia Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 nice looking build, i find a couple of coats of liquid decal film helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheonix Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 That has built into a really nice model. Never heard of these kits but if this is representative they look to be very good. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 A very nice model. It's a subject (and kit company) I don't know. Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi Les That's a new kit company for me, but far more importantly the aircraft looks the business, congratulations. Stainless steel rigging sounds very different from the normal fishing line etc, what's the story please ? cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Moore Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Ethicon stainless is in fact old school surgical wire. I got some from a heart surgeon when they quit using it back in 2003. Glad you liked the model. I may have another one (Hanriot) similar to it (Pegasus) soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
