jknaus Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm new here and joined as this seems to be the place to go for WWI aircraft.I recently got the Gotha and Roland D VI for Christmas and have started the Roland. Hopefully you'll be able to point out short comings etc and help me get this built as I'm more of a WWII and modern modeler. Did the wood in Vallejo buff and then burnt umber. Batched up the green grey with vallejo aircolour rlm 02 and pale green and olive green and white to get to what looked right to me. Have one Master Model gun built. And got uo to the frame construction. Will build the Radub seatbelts tonight or tomorrow and install them and the seat . Thoughts comments or critiques welcome.

gcn Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It's always nice to see some more WWI action on here, nice start and what scheme are you planning on doing. I think i'll order one of these today, I prefer the choice of schemes over the Pfalz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jknaus Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Picture of the seat belts didnt come out. But they are on . Engine frame doesnt fit too well so I have some work ahead to figure that out. Buttoned it up with some tape to see what I could see. And the scheme will be this one James Edited January 27, 2011 by jknaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewE Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thats a great start. My Roland D VI left NZ yesterday and I intend doing the same scheme so I will be watching this build with interest. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Teunissen Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 From what I have heart the fuselage should fit like a glove. Only thing to consider is that not a single drop of paint should be placed on any joints... nice build so far! Cheers, Nico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jknaus Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Okay first a better pic of the seatbelts. And didnt get much today. Started painting engine and have 1 side almost wired up. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kornbeef Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Nice work, she does look good. I'm doing the same profile myself, slightly different interpretation no doubt. A little ahead of you and alls gone well but check your cowling fit before painting up, I had to do a little thinning of the lip and minor surgery on the exhaust side (could be my build though) Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknaus Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Little bit more done. Fuse is buttoned up. Just sitting on bottom wing. And with a gun just resting James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknaus Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Have not been as industrious as I should lately. Here is where I am so far. I have some touching up of the stripes then start painting panels etc. I somehow misaligned the engine although I cant see it. But the panels don't fit so the engine will be exposed. Could be something worse. Comment and critiques welcome. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
