The model depicts a machine used by 9me
Escadrille in the Belgian air force operating in Flanders in 1917.
These were amongst the most colourful unit markings of the First World War.
The construction stages of this model can be followed on the
workbench. |

Switzerland also used the HD1 for home defence.
Modelled here is HD-1 No 633 of Fleigertruppe 5 1919. |
