Title: Roland C.II (1/32, Wingnut Wings)
Post by: PrzemoL on May 18, 2021, 05:40:09 AM
The final gallery of my newest build - the well known Roland C.II Meerkatze from FFA18, 1st half of 1916. It drew my attention because of that possible unusual colour suggested in WNW instruction book. So I suppose I have a little different Roland C.II after all :)

I agree completely with Alexis. The colour scheme is certainly different but still very interesting. A superb build thread as always leading to another outstanding model.

Well Prze - this turned out extremely well indeed. The colour is a great option in this case, and very attractive to my eyes. Your attention to detail and subtle weathering have made this project a big success. Congrats on a beautiful model (again!).
Cheers,
Gary

Thank you, everyone, for this warm welcome to my Walfisch.

I will only add that it is my 30th Wingnut (a small jubillee) and 36th model in 32nd scale. I was not going to buy and build it only until the news of WNW demise broke out last year. Then rushed to buy a couple of kits of "second sort" for me and this is the first one of that series :)
Still, when I was building it I started to like it more and more. So now I am glad that you like it, too.

That really is superb work, Prez

Love your subtle shading/weathering and the overall colour is different.

Great modelling again and I like your choice of colour scheme.
The off-white and subtle pre-shading are a real treat to the eyes,

It's great to see this model in this paint scheme.  It's such a simple scheme yet the model presents it well and is extremely attractive, at least to these tired old eyeballs.  The sublte weathering and highlighting together with the color of the model and the seamless construction make for an outstanding presentation.  One again Prez, Outstanding.

That is an impressive model, with a great paint job!
Your prop looks perfect, and this one was your first? I think it will not be the last one on your models ...

Cheers,

Thank you, everyone.

Well Done. Brilliant build. I would love to do one of these if I could only get one at a decent price somewhere.
It is a lovely kit, I wish you can grab one. Mine was bought just before the gold rush broke in April 2020... I managed to catch 8 kits missing in my collection from various modeling shops around...

No, it is not my first propeller from KoTeBi. It is actually 7th... And not the last one, I am pretty sure.  ;)
