Received my two Hanriots today after a bit of a mix up with Shapeways/FedEx having my correct address but then saying it was an incorrect address. Overall I am pleased. Roundel colors look very good, as do the tri-colors across the bottom wing of the Italian Hanriot. Colors on the rudders are a bit muted, almost faded, and the thistle emblem on the side of the Belgian Hanriot is difficult to see. The five color camo of the Belgian seems to also be a tad "off" as it has a little too much tan and not enough green I believe. The wings are very warped, but I expected that based on other posts here on the forum. I will try the hot water/steam trick to see if I can get them to proper location.
I am also happy that these preprinted planes are available now on Shapeways as that will allow me to grab a few more Hanriots for a reduced price.
Overall a nice buy and these offerings are definitely welcomed! Thanks to Daryl for creating these.
