Roland D.VI "a"version// Fly// 1:48 & Aviattic
« on: January 21, 2019, 04:48:21 PM »
Hi

Finally done! Quite tricky in getting proper vs. on the shelf out of this short run kit. In order to do “a” vs. you must alter the cowling inlets by adding them in the front bottom. PE includes the prototype inspections and vents as well, but IMHO rest of the kit is not in the line to perform such. I have added also Gaspatch 08/15 guns

Beautiful model! The wood looks really great and the Aviattic lozenge gives a sensational contrast to the black tail.

I completely agree with Bud and Rick: a great build thread and a superb model. The wood finish is so realistic.

This build was well documented in the build thread, thanks for that, and you made a really nice model from a shortrun kit!
I would be lucky, if my kit looks at the end as nice as yours. What I have seen in the box demotivated me a bit after all the nice Eduard and Copper State Models kits around, but as we can see - a good modeler can create a nice model also from such limited base.

Cheers,
Frank

It is not an easy kit to build . Start one a while back now and it end up as a shelf queen . You did a super job on this build  :)

Great Roland, Krzysiek! I like it very much, the combination of plain wood and lozenge make is so lovely. Nice work!
