Thanks for another great review Brad. I well remember having a talk with Vladimir Sulc at the IPMS Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia in 2005 and pleading with him to do a 1/72nd scale Nie.17. He admitted to me that not only the scale, but this a/c in particular, was one of his favorites. Sadly, it didn't generate the income that he and the developers had hoped.
I have two sitting on the shelf of doom waiting for me to come back to them. I modeled myself in to a corner with them (couldn't leave well enough alone). My only criticism for the kit is the shade of blue for the roundels and tail, it seems every resource I've consulted says it should be more of an ultramarine rather than that light "powder blue" color.

Just my two centimes.

Thanks for this detailed review Brad.

These nice KP kits are available in Europe for around €15.00.

Great review Brad!  It seems that for a lot of the kit, KP really did pay attention. Too bad about the nose length, etc.

Thanks WD!

On the plus side, the nose length is good for the D.IIa. A little bit of work here and there and you can get each variant. The Roland is a cool looking little aeroplane :)

Cheers,

It is that!  If any aeroplane deserved the nickname of "Camel" this one certainly did.
