I reckon with the release of WNW's two gorgeous kits, we'll soon be seeing a few of these being built. I thought I'd get the ball rolling with one of my older builds, my meager effort with Eduard's 1/48 scale Roland C.II. I wanted to provide all you Nutters with a place to land once your builds were completed and also get this one up before anyone got the chance to compare it to the truly splendid WNW builds that are surely on their way. ;)

As you all can see, I got the interior color wrong. :-[

Thanks Bud for kicking off this topic with your wonderful Walfisch, you have done a superb job with this model with the overall finish looking excellent, the Walfisch is a perfect shape to have sharks teeth.

Hello Bud,
Never saw this one before. You made a superb fish of this beautiful a/c. The colors are outstanding and I don't know what is wrong with the interior. Once again a magnificent build my friend!
Kind regards
Patrick

Two beautiful builds

Many congratulations on this one RB. Magnificent build!
Kind regards

All three most impressive!

This was the third kit I built after my 30 year hiatus. It's the Airfix offering, with very little improvement. The interior is scratch built and the markings are handpainted, but other than that it's OOB, warped wing and huge panel lines included.
I have another in the stash, with a Choroszy engine and Mini-World Parabellum to add to it...looking forward to getting a start on it....

Definitely a "practice" effort, but much better than the first one I built when I was about 12!

Ken and Ian,
I Love the scales on your Roland Ken. Top Notch work all around!
Ian, Your work on that Old Airfix kit looks great to me! The last one I built was an MPC release in the states that had Paisly decals and Custom Chrome parts! Thank God I didn't use them and no record exists of my build 8)

Rick,
That is the MPC kit, it came with the "flame" decals - hence the handpainted ones!

Old Memory, must have been a different kit that had the Paisly :-X Either way Yours is great!

Ken and Ian, thank you for showing us your beautiful models, both are very well done.

Hello Ken and Ian,
Two different schemes than Bud's and RB, but even so nice. Well done and congratulations.
Kind regards
Patrick
-
Ken! Long time, no see! Where have you been, my friend? Great to see you back. Folks, Ken is modest. If I recall, those fish scales are painted on, not the decals provided in the kit. Now, that's modeling artistry. One of my all time favorite Roland D.II's.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Ian, beautiful job on that rough little MPC kit! Silk purse, if I ever saw one.
Cheers,
Bud
-
All birds are very nice to see. Great builds and painting.
Martin

Thanks Bud, and everyone for the kind words..... And all the other Walfisch shown here are beauties!
Bud, I have been so busy of late with work & life in general.... I still take a peek in here from time to time (more & more lately) I am still working on the Scratch-built 1/32 AEG C.IV but itching to start a WNW Fokker D.VII.... would like to do Hantelmann's/Wüsthoff's 382/18 on a trailer after capture..... but do know if I can bring myself to do it....? ;)
Thanks Again!
Ken
-
Gents,
These all look good (not the most elegant looking of aircraft though) work -
Bud and Ken - most definately nothing wrong with either of your builds.
Regards
Dave

Here's mine, from the Eduard 1/48 kit, built a few years back.

Another beautiful fish scale Roland! Well done as always Brad!!

Beautifully done Brad!
Ian

Wundervoll, Brad!

Hi Brad,
This is trully a wonderful build! Many congratulations
Kind regards
Patrick
-
Extremely well done Brad, I really like the fish scale fuselage.
Des.
-
Masterfully done, as usual, Brad! I remember your build log on this one. Her interior is as gorgeous as her exterior. (Afraid I can't say that about my ex. It does apply, however, to my current missus.)
Cheers,
Bud
-
What a super piece of work, Brad; it looks most impressive.
Best wishes

Thanks for posting that. I had no idea that such a kit was available in 1/72! As a result I've just found one on ebay. :)
