Ettore Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 After positive replay by dazdot I decided to enter in this GB with a LFG Roland C.IIA "Walfish" the reason is also because the town hall of my city is organizing the events for next year, and would like to have models of biplanes to exhibit. Ithe kit is an Eduard 1/48 Weekend without aftermarket. I'll try to finish it on the scheduled date, here a picture of the box and not mounted. I'll start this evening, after job ! See you soon Ettore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ettore Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hi all Today only two images about start ! I glued three little frame on engine base and the electricals cables to glow plugs Now I will give a bit of color: aluminum base and cylinders blacks such as valves, and then washing with a bit of oil.

Ettore Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) As I promised, here the complete engine and the opened pipe exhaust As you can see missing a piece of the collector, because this part should be removed with the last valve and then enter the engine compartment, as the instructions say But also the blue greysh, dark and cleared, in interior surfaces See you soon !!

andy wood Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ettore, I built this kit a few years back. There is nothing to trip you up in the build. A few improvements that can be made are to open up the bulkhead between the cockpits, (as it is not solid in real life) and to drill out the camera ports in the lower fuselage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ettore Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi all Three little step today ! First a coat of desert yellow Tamiya on internal bulkheads Then, I gave the thin layers of oil colors: sienna, burnt sienna and Bruno Van Dyke.I mildly dried with a hair dryer and then I had let them dry a day The sequence of the exhaust pipe was:base of black, dry brushing of silver, dark red and brownLater I will use color smoke and dust to age. A nice week to all Ettore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy wood Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ettore, does this help. This is from the WNW instructions. The round thing on your bulkhead is the antenna reel. It can be mounted on the bulkhead or on the stbd side of the rear cockpit, just forward of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks "andy wood" for the drawing, now with this, you force me to a good reproduction and to eviscerate the bulkheads and then touch up with oils, I hope I do not do anything stupid like my usual thanks again Ettore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettore Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Ok peopledo a little summary: andy wood has kindly advised to modify the interior of the cockpit according to the instructions of the Wingnut, I was delighted by the draws, I immediately said Yes!Unfortunately, I have studied the situation well and I would have to completely to destroy the work cutting everything, considering that in 1:48 scale is a little more difficult than in 1/32 scale, I decided to do it as it proposes by Eduard .... ........and here is my finished cockpit. A matt gunze H20 completed the workObviously the advice andy wood are not in vain, I downloaded from the website Wingnut's the instructions of of Roland and in the future I intend to buy it .............. thanks andy wood Ettore 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ettore Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi and thanks all ! Yess ! I return to work on Roland I have been absent 10 days because I missed the tree with the rudder and horizontal stabilizer; Fortunately, I found someone in Italy who sold me a new Roland .......I cannibalized it ! I'll use it as a test for the colors.I closed the fuselage, lower wings pasted and also pasted the missing parts, and finally a coat of white primer which also serves to give a clear background. Note: the wings are only inserted Today I'll start with lower color, a pale blue ! Ettore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
