AdrianMF Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Hello All,Just a couple of pictures of the Airfix Roland CII, which I realise I haven't put up here. It checks out well against the old Harborough plans, although I now think those plans are not as accurate as the modern ones. Still, that meant I could do some interior detailing: And I finished it as an early version with a Lewis gun and flying fish anenometer, in a scheme taken from the Wingnuts site: It's a nice little kit and I had fun building it. Unlike most Airfix biplanes of that era, the struttery and wing alignment is very simple - you don't have to get a dozen plastic sticks to point in the same direction! Thanks for looking, Adrian Edited March 11, 2016 by AdrianMF 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 That looks great. I have one approaching the summit of Stash Mountain so seeing what you've achieved is very encouraging, although I doubt mine will look this good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Great job there and nice to see that older kits can still be made into lovely models Richard I built this when it first came out in nineteencanteen (it looked nothing like yours!!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
