Baron Rolf Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Donnet-Denhaut DD8 triplace, Centre d'Aviation Maritime, unknown crew D.77.. They look fantastic Chris Edited June 5, 2023 by flash spurious pics removed - again ! Quote
Baz Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 Nice set Chris, great painting as usual. Not heard of this before so good to see and read up on. REP sent Quote
malachi Posted June 4, 2023 Author Posted June 4, 2023 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. Quote
ReducedAirFact Posted June 5, 2023 Posted June 5, 2023 Great paint job! All those French flying boats (DD's, Tellier, Georges Levy, Levy-Besson) don't get the press that they deserve. Quote
malachi Posted June 5, 2023 Author Posted June 5, 2023 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 Quote
malachi Posted June 6, 2023 Author Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) 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.

CrashCraig Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 Looks awesome Chris. Looking forward to the AAR already:clap: Quote
Walarik Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Hello, since I like this plane very much, here is my trio (USA version is not ready yet, otherwise there would be four of them). And yes, I know that Italy and Austria did not use those, but "Resistance was furtile" in this case. Hope you will like them. Edited January 7 by Teaticket 4 Quote
CrashCraig Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Fine looking trio Georg. Great way to start off 2024! :clap: Quote
Teaticket Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Really nice Georg. Looking forwrd to seeing your US versions. Quote
OldGuy59 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 (edited) Need cards? I have a Hanriot HD.2 card for an American plane. Wouldn't be much work to put French markings on one. Crew and units? And I could do a card or two for the DD.8? Again, crew and unit? PS: Found the unit for all. Crews unknown. Checked the Hanriot HD.2 Painting thread, too. Edited January 7 by OldGuy59 Quote
Walarik Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Hello Mike, if you will be so kind and make cards for all my three DD8, it will be really helpfull for me. Appreciate all your effort. Thank you very much. Quote
OldGuy59 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Hmmm... I have a problem. I have this drawing, identified as possibly a DD.7: I have this drawing, identified as a DD.8: Does anyone have a confirmation? Does anyone have a better drawing of the Three-seater? The one above is not suitable for making a card. If only the two seater was verifiable as the DD.8, I could do a card with this: Quote
ReducedAirFact Posted January 30 Posted January 30 You could try the one that was derived from the Shapeways model: https://static.miraheze.org/linenwiki/9/94/DD8triTop.png. (I re-generated it at 3000 pixels wide.) It doesn't have support and control lines, though. 1 Quote
OldGuy59 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Thanks to Daryl [ReducedAirFact] for his drawings, I could fudge this: So, both planes are DD.8s, one is a BiPlace, the other is the TriPlace, version. Quote
OldGuy59 Posted January 30 Posted January 30 (edited) Technically, this should be a standard card? Wingspan is under 19m. Edited January 30 by OldGuy59 1 Quote
