Title: 1/48 Revell (Eduard) Roland C.II

Here we go! This welcome reissue from Revell surely doesn't need much in the way of introduction. The equivalent of an Eduard "Weekend Edition", it comes with a decent amount of detail OOB but without the PE bells & whistles.

Some paint going on to interior parts already. Couple of ejector pin marks to deal with (visible ones only!)

Citadel Karak Stone on as a base coat for the wood-effect.

The Master Spandau & Parabellum to replace the (still pretty decent) styrene parts).

Eduard lap belts are en-route from Hannants and I might try a small bit of scratch building, but by and large that's it.

More soon, thanks for looking.

Excellent choice, J!  This is a great kit.  Good call using the Master barrels.  I think you'll be much happier with the results than if you'd stuck with what the kit provides.  I look forward to following along.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, all.

Wood effect progresses, Burnt Umber acrylic over Citadel Karak Stone, then Humbrol Clear Orange and a Citadel Sepia wash. Some Citadel Oil in the engine compartment.

Hi J,

This is great progress! I do like your wood tones - and the oily grubby tones of the engine compartment... good modelling!

Regards,

Marc
