I freely admit to starting this build with a degree or trepidation...this is what I had in the stash that appeared to fit the GB specs:
and for some reason it was the Hanriot that jumped out.
I picked up the kit some time ago. Its the weekend edition which means no PE to play with but still plenty of nice plastic and a surprisingly low parts count. The only major issue for me is going to be rigging the damn thing. As yet I have failed to rig a biplane with any success. Lets see where we get to.
Not sure on the scheme yet but note that the US scheme is expressly stated to be the "US Navy" contingent in France 1918 (so must fit the GB) whilst the french scheme "Centre d'Aviation Maritime" Dunkerque 1917-1918 does not expressly state that it is a Navy unit.
Will go with the US scheme unless the mods say otherwise.
Cheers
Dave
