1/32 WnW Roland D.VIa
« on: February 10, 2020, 05:27:40 AM »
Hi folks - I just completed Wingnut Wings kit of the Roland D.VIa which was a marvelous model to construct. I used Aviattic decals set ATTROL32118 four colour faded lozenge, and added Master barrels and cooling jackets to the guns. The build started out as kit option no. "E" from Jasta 23b, but became the factory-delivered version of that aircraft, before the personal stripes and colours had been added - I decided to stick with the all-blonde wooden fuselage. I altered the serial number on the decal sheet to help with that scenario.

The figures are from Model Cellar, painted with Vallejo acrylics. I had to alter the mechanic's head position (after my posted photo in the Construction section) to make him look more animated, and less like a "Ken doll".
Thanks for looking in!
Cheers,
Gary

As I said on the Under Construction page, "Well done, Gary, that really makes my day!"

Excellent result, Gary.  A real masterpiece.
The technique you used on the wooden fuselage gives it a very unique and realistic appearance.
