roland CII eduard 1/48
« on: April 12, 2016, 03:56:30 AM »
Hi all
I've buy this model a long time ago and just for fun I've decided to built it straight from the box
 and the box is very full
with two sets of photoetched parts
one is coloured
some mask for the wheels

I think the scheme will be that shown on the box art

here the box

see you soon

Excellent choice, Moustique!  It's a fantastic kit that builds into a beautiful model.  I look forward to following.
Cheers,

I saw a very beautiful one in Valladolid (Spain this week-end)
I think the scales were painted...

Actually a great choice. The Roland is a beauty. I'm keen on following your progress.
Somewhere I read an article about a guy who replicated the fish scales with handmade masks. He made over 600 single scales for that bird!
You are true, xan, a very beautiful, the one from Valladolid. I love these in-flight installations.

I will be following your build with great interest, Moustique.
The fishy paint scheme will be quite fetching, my friend. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

As nice as hand painted scales look I would go the decal option, my eyes would not be up to all that painting.

That was just an anecdote, not a request at all. I would use the decals too!  ;)

It's a lovely kit. I built this one but I got the colours wrong and the decals didn't show up properly. I've got another one to have another go at it.

Watching with interest.

thank all to follow this built

Borsos I was not enough strong to made paint scales but I'm sure that it's a great challenge :P

like as usual I began by the interior
eduard say wood so I'll make wood with my usual method

base xf 59
then oil paint with a flat brush
then one spray of clear orange
