Roland C.IIa, WnW 1/32

[mess]

The last one with whale smile and tail skid.

First turnbuckles installed to fuselage front part. As I wrote earlier, I used resin Gaspatch 1/48 as it seems better to my eyes than 1/32 ones. And started to work on landing gear. Plough paint wear was achieved with some chipping solution. Weathering was created as before with oil paints and pigments.

This is continuing to be a Great guild log. Your painting and weathering is impressive. The decals came out beautifully!

I'm using monofilament for rigging. I used Uschi but it seems to thin and flat to me. I thought how to paint the line. The method accepted was to put monofilament to sprue, fix it on both sides with CA glue and airbrush it on it. It worked for me fine, I just repaired placed damaged during rigging procedure.

Great progress, again. A pleasure to watch.

Thanks

I had to modify rods used to control ailerons. I repositioned control stick and ailerons and shortened one and lengthened second rod installed behind fuselage radiators (will be installed later on).

Next steps were rigging itself and some oil weathering.

There are control rods installed on second photo, it is visible that they were repositioned to represend non-neutral aileron position.

More rigging... and you could see how finished "curtains" look.

And finally some wheel dirt and what is visible from cockpit with fuselage closed.

Wow, this is stunning! Can't imagine why you call yourself Mess!

[kensar]

It's a great mess of details.

LF model propeller needed some modification to spinner.
