Still doing some research, but hope to end up with something looking like this: Appears to be two schools of thought towards the finish of these particular aircraft, with either overall aluminum or CDL surfaces -or could that possibly be opaque yellow? I had thought of using a shade of horizon blue for metal surfaces other than the cowl, but now I'm not sure if the floats were constructed of metal or wood? Any takers?? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyhow, this is where it's at so far on the bench. On the left side, below the dime, is initial gluing of the fuselage halves. Not sure if it is warp-age or what, but only applied cement at the cowl end and once that was set, some hand held pressure coaxed the back half together. Next to that is Small Stuff resin engine of the Clerget 9B/Z (130/110 hp) Engine. This will be a like mini kit to build, I count about 46 pieces in total. Even a tool is provided to handle the tiniest detail. Lastly, Minute72 PE detail specifically dedicated to the Hanriot. The PE cockpit detail is done, and although the instructions do indicate four points to attach control wires, I'll likely skip that being 1/72 scale. The seat cushion is not affixed so it can be painted separate. Lower wing attached, and dry fit of the PE detail inside the fuselage. The interior required both walls and floor sanded down. regards, Jack

Researching this one before bringing it to the bench, and there seems to be a variety of possibilities (guesses?) as to the colour of these aircraft: Most popular seems to be either overall aluminum paint, or canvas surfaces remain in clear dope. A French web page on this particular maritime unit http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escadrille/CAM_Dunkerque.htm has this rendering found on that page, which looks to be (flat?) aluminum or is that grey on the canvas surfaces? I've posed the same question on a couple other forums (Aerodrome and AerosScale) but maybe someone here has some answers? regards, Jack
