Ok, my Roland arrived a few days ago, from what I can see so far, it looks like a super kit.
I decided (I think) to build this one. Started on the engine, still have some to do on it.

Robert very well done.

Nice start.

Great job on the engine Robert. The Roland is a great looking
aeroplane and I'm looking forward to following your promising
build. :D
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Really nice engine. I like the harness from the pipe on the side.

Excellent start, Robert! That engine looks fantastic.

Nice profile you have chosen. I really love those Klinkerrumpf birds.
Stefan

Great scheme you have chosen Robert and what you have done on the engine is superb, looking forward to seeing more of this build.

Got started on the cockpit. Painted the interior planking, assembled and painted the seat, dash and other interior stuff. Trial fit on the cockpit to the fuselage. Seems to fit pretty well. No where as fussy a fit as on the Fokker DVII.

Got the fuselage buttened up and I'm starting on painting the planking.
Started off with a base color of Tamiya XF3 flat yellow and XF59 about 50:50. I'm trying to get a fairly light wood color over all.

Next is a subtle under coating of Burnt Sienna oil paint. Once that's dry I'll start my attempt at wood grain. If that doesn't work out, I guess the paint job will become a camo scheme.

You are making great progress Robert, the interior and the engine are excellent, and you fuselage wood is starting to take shape nicely, good luck with your wood grain.
Des.

The fuselage looks very good.
Martin

I painted the fuselage planking, don't know how good it looks but it's gonna have to do. I tried to keep the wood grain very fine so it looks to scale, unfortunately it's hard to see. I used artist oils burnt sienna, yellow ochre, white, and cad. yellow for the different shades. Applied with a very small stiff artist brush.
Also started on the painting and decals.
Some of the photos aren't too great but it gives an idea of what everything looks like.

Crap.....looks like photobucket didn't get all my uploads, I'll try again later.

A wonderful work and paint.
Martin

Robert,
Like the others, I think your wood turned out beautifully. You clearly have a deft touch, and the effect is very convincing.
Chris
-
Coming along just beautifully, Robert. Great interior work and your woodwork is really outstanding!
Cheers,

A little more progress.
Using Aviattic tailored faded lozenge decals, with linen rib tape. First time I have used the Aviattic decals and they are superb. They fit perfectly, go on easily and look great. They even have a fabric texture look with is impressive.
I'm also using Gaspatch turnbuckles for the first time. I think they are going to look great when I'm finished.
At least two things will be first class on my Roland, don't know aout the rest.
I also rigged the rudder and elevator, and installed some turnbuckles on the fuselage.

Great work with the Turnbuckles and also the lozenge and tapes!
RAGIII

Nice job on the lozenge and doing the tapes :)
Terri

Great progress, Robert! Your woodgrain is really well done and the
lozenge is totally convincing. Well done!
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hello to all,
I like it too ! ;)
Aviattic lozenges look very realistic.
Best regards.
Alain.

Hello Robert:
You have done an outstanding job on this to date. The engine, the wood, decal work, (the Aviattic Lozenge set looks great). This is turning out to be quite an attractive model.

Hi Roberto,
i like the chosen color scheme a lot, also you're wood grain effect look's fabulous.
Great choise on the Aviatic decals, they look really realistic.
I'm very curious for the end result, the Roland is a very nice airplane, and you're model will do justice to the real one.

Ok, I think it's pretty much finished now. I did notice a few little oopsies in the photos but I'll fix them later.

Hello to all,
Yes, a beautiful model. Superb work !!!
Best regards.
Alain.

Very nice sir!
Warren

Thanks for the compliments everyone. It's a long way from perfect but it's probably the best I have ever done. I was concerned about the wood work on the fuselage, but I think it came out OK.
I really enjoyed doing the rigging because of the Gaspatch turnbuckles and the micro tube. Now I actually like rigging.
I'd like to thank everyone on the board for the great hints and tips to make a better model.
-
She's a colorful machine. Great job !
-
Lovely stuff. Getting the woodgrain on the fuselage planking to look authentic is a tough one. I'm glad to see that the Aviattic decals worked so well as I've just ordered the same - must move my Roland to next in the queue based on this effort. Same scheme too.
Best wishes,
GrahamB
