Hope that you will get closer impression of this plane. Feel free to use this images for your reseach work or publishing. Just to note that during the regular maintenance of the www.letletlet-warplanes.com web site, evil owner and admin [ it is I by the way] will remove this material so hurry to download it before too late

Very nice photos! I'd like to depict the H-B C.1 at some point in the future, as it's an interesting design.

[Sreiko]

I have somewhere blueprints... but will take some time until I find it. You will need it for your project. Glad you like the images

[JerryBoucher]

I think I have some blueprints somewhere, but they're not very good. If you have anything you think might be useful, that would be great

Only know source is the preserved drawings in the Technical Museum from Vienna. And they are not very perfect but very correct and nice basic source.

Sreiko: Isn't Toscha's plane fitted with a Mercedes D.II? The cylinders seem paired rather than separate. Ransom
