I give them lots of credit for choosing the HB Star Strutter for their first 1/24th effort. It looks like it will be an incredible build.

The Great War Aircraft in Profile #2 by Flying Machines Press is a must have, and a great read.

I hear a Datafile on the HB will be out later this year?

Cheers,

Dackel

Hello

I'm a good friend of Philippe Jourdan and i have the pleasure to be with you in this forum !
Sorry for my poor English..............I'm french and you know..........

So our Hansa is our first complete kit. The wood is plywood, resin and white metal.

You can find photoetched parts too in this kit.

We are preparing anothers kits from WWI in 1/24 scale like the Hansa.

Our objectif is a QUALITY MUSEUM. We have working two years on the masters and we have find the way to make this quality. Put in the kit a maximum parts like the real plane, and keep the details best as possible.

If you have any question, please tell me.

The next kit will be a German plane............but I keep the secret for the moment.

We hope to make 3 at 4 kits per years.

Have a good day!

Marc

Hello Marc and a very warm welcome indeed.

After viewing your info about the Hansa and your reason for choosing it as your first subject is commendable. However, there is much to be said about producing kits of the more Famous Albatros and Fokker Fighters in that the variety of markings that the builder can choose are so large as to make them guarnteed sellers of your entire production run.

Look forward to your anouncement of your next kit !

Amazingly excellent quality is evident from the link showing details of the kit. I hope you have great success, and continue to produce "3 or 4 per year".

THANKS!

DrIace,
As your comments are true regarding the variety to markings / colours concerning the famous Albs and Fokkers , I - for one - am more interested in the variety of models available on the market.There are many Albs and Fokkers on the model market and they are beautifull maschines , no question..!
But I think that the Austrian-Hungary aircraft are grossly neglegted on the model markt in any scale.And they produced some beautifull aircraft as well.!
I do tend to make all my models in plain linnen and wood colour , I am more intriqued by the shape, aerodynamics and construction of the model.
To my opinion the HB DI is a beautifull maschine , despite its awfull handling characteristics.
I do have the HB DI from Marc as well and it is an oustanding kit, the quality is second to none, I am looking forward to Marcs new project and surely will purchase the following models as well..!

Cheers,
UFAG
