Very nice finish on the fuselage. This is going to become a masterpiece. This “scrumbling” finish, where did you get the information on that? I have read a little about the Roland Walfisch but I think I missed this new theory regarding their paint finish.

Thank you Borsos, and all the others, for those kind comments.

As for the "scumble" finish, I first learned of it from the kit's description and instructions which can be seen on the WNW site.

There is also an excellent article in the Summer 2014 Windsock World War Centenary on Roland colors in which the field-applied 'scumbling' camouflage is mentioned.

Yay...something for my Roland that's not blue! Just finished the prop. Wood effect done with Burnt and Raw Umber oil paints over mixes of brown/tan and brown/pale yellow primer. Final finish is Gunze Mr Color Super Clear Gloss.

Time for an update. The exhaust unit was done by applying layers of Mig AMMO Rust Effects paints over a base of Gunze Mr Metal Color Iron.
The fuselage decals are done and performed flawlessly with the help of Micro Set/Sol and hot air from a hair dryer, the latter used on the large ones.
The pilot's leather cockpit trim is various oil paints over Andrea and Vallejo acrylic leather colors.

Trying to keep up with all of these builds has been very difficult so I have not commented on this much before. The fuselage colour is amazing - you have a slightly streaky effect which is so much more realistic than the plain colours that I have seen first hand on several of these models. The weathered effects on the exhaust and engine are also super - again so realistic.

This really is first class modelling in the making.

Hi Stephen, Thank you for those kind comments! You might be interested to learn that the streaky effect represents a crude field-applied attempt at camouflaging the plain colours in which the aircraft was originally finished so models done either way are correct! In fact, the instructions show a series of photos of this particular aircraft at various stages in its life starting with the plain original paint then with the streaky "scumble" effect and finally with some kind of tinted varnish which appears to have been applied over the upper surfaces.

Cheers,
Eric

Wonderful effect on the fuselage, Eric. I think this will be the best Roland with the shark mouth that I have seen.
Great,
Manni

Painting, decals, and weathering of the fuselage are finished and the undercarriage attached. Some minor touch-up painting remains to be done then it's on to the tail and wings!
The prop and spinner are only temporarily fitted for these pics.
