I've also noticed that none of the Hasegawa kits for sale on ebay right now are featured on Scalemates

Can anyone help me out here in regards to the Hatchette 1/8 DR1

wilky Autor
So no one is going to help me out here.
I don't want to make a mistake.
It's a bit depressing that I'm being totally ignored

wilky Autor
Some one surely can help me out here

Hi Wilky,

Dont take it personally, it may just be no one knows anything.
Or It might be that they have their view to show only popular posts.. so would not have seen this (I have it set to all)

Augie, I've posted a question on Tim's wall too.
I know he's busy.
I'm pretty sure it's in popular with my repeated questions.
It would be great to get some advice because I don't want to make a mistake.
I need to know if I have to add a manufacturer.
If this is a rebox.
What image to upload

This isn't the first time I've asked a public question and been ignored.
Happens pretty much every time.
I end up deleting a lot of them

Martin Oostrom
I'd love to give you answer, just don't have the right one, or a clue.
It's not not-wanting, just being unable. Hang in there Wilky!

No clue this kit even existed.

I would classify it as "1 full kit". Not as a 100 books/magazines

Ps: i don't check every person his wall. Eg. This is the first time i see this post. (After you sent me a Personal message)

wilky Autor
Tim, I know that you wouldn't check everybody's wall.
I was hoping someone would be able to help with the relative information but it's been days now and I figured I'd ask you what you thought

wilky Autor
I never get any answers to my questions and I end up giving up and deleting them.
This time I needed to know because when I receive this kit I wish to add it to the data base

Okay, after doing some research I now know that the Hachette Dr.1 and the Hasegawa Dr.1 are two completely different models.
The Hachette one has no plastic sprues where the Hasegawa one is mainly plastic sprues.
I strongly believe that the Hachette Dr.1 is an Artesania Latina model

Sorry wilky, this was the first time I have noticed your question. That is somehow a problem, to get noticed in the flood of postings of the huge amount of modellers ...
May be it is better to see which mates own a specific kit and ask them directly by PN so they get notified about your question.
As you can see in the attached projects I have build this Hasegawa kit. It is a great kit, the wings are wood and the fuselage structure (welded steel tubes on original) are made of some harder plastic. Some other parts are thin aluminium sheet (e.g. cowling) and fittings are white metal.
On the other side I have never seen the Hachette kit, so I can't say anything about it.

Thanks Bughunter, I'd rather not ask someone directly.
It is annoying enough to be generally ignored but personally ignored is worse.
Having had many trading PM's ignored I take that as a lesson.
Thankfully ebay is a good for research on the content of kits
