They look fantastic Chris

Nice set Chris, great painting as usual. Not heard of this before so good to see and read up on.

REP sent

Thanks, guys. I thought this one would be kind of plain, but really like how it turned out. They're mentioned a bit in the HD1/HD2 windsock datafile. It's probably a DD9 in the photo since twin guns but close enough Kind of tough to find a lot of photos.

Like that model. Nice job Chris

[Stumptonian]

Another nice one, Chris.

Great paint job! All those French flying boats (DD's, Tellier, Georges Levy, Levy-Besson) don't get the press that they deserve.

[malachi]

Thanks very much for the comments and REP, all.
I probably need another one of these to keep it company on patrol
And to get going on my crazy Tellier T6 cannon version and the 'Alerte' triplane

[flash]

Great looking paintjob, Chris

[Flying Helmut]

Thank you, chaps This one will be part of an impromptu Seefrosta scenario at Origins, either Wed or Fri evening
Hounding the Hun in the North Sea
French DD8s and Hanriot HD2s harass enemy U-boats as Seefrosta attacks.
