T-Tango Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Afternoon all; I'm having a break from Albies, the next project is a WnW Roland D.VI.a, however the first sprue I see on opening the box is another Daimler Mercedes D.III engine, hey ho! This is the scheme I'm planning on, Emil Koch, Jasta 32b, 1918, photos will follow as I progress. Pete Edited August 4, 2011 by T-Tango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I must admit at being tempted to actually ordering this one from WNW - unfortunately, I dithered too long....... our dog became very ill a couple of weeks ago and cost me £400 - which made me feel ill! We are also about to go on holiday to Cornwall for a week, so this will very much have to go on the back burner for a while. Never mind, by the time I'm ready perhaps one of the new models will be on release - like the look of either the Fokker DVII or Pfaltz DXII. No doubt your latest project will be up to your usual high standard. Will watch your progress with interest. By the way, managed to complete the Eduard Camel. Getting the top wing on turned out not too much of a problem. Epeeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Its a lovely kit to build Pete, you'll do it full justice. Nice choice of colour scheme too! Those fuselage halves are an incredible set of mouldings aren't they. Look forward to seeing progress on it, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Tango Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Looking good Pete,If you're previous WNW builds are anything to go by this one sould be amazing. Thanks mate. A question for any body that knows the Roland, there are 2 'spade' shaped panels just below the cockpit opening each side of the fusilage, any ideas on the colour? Cheers Pete.

gcn Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi Pete I followed this lead linky RLM02 type of colour Not a lot can be seen after its closed up anyway so I'd give it a nice splash of red instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
