WNW Roland
« on: March 06, 2013, 07:12:06 AM »
Here is the model I completed recently.  Started mid Jan and this is OOB bar the rigging and Taurus plugs.  I dulled down the lozenge which was otherwise very bright.  One of the cabane struts popped out by about 1mm when glueing the top wing on, so the alignment is a little skew, but not that obvious in the pics.

Apart from that, everything slotted together nicely :)

Very fine build, Ian. Rolands are very attractive and the Kissenberth's Edelweiss makes it even more! Congratulations on a fine completed model!

I was just reading about the pilot of this plane in an old Over the Front mag last night.

Nicely done!

Congratulations Ian on a superb build, stunning is the first word that comes to mind, the colour scheme is very eye catching, well done.

Thanks folks - I did enjoy building this and chose this one specially for my other half who is German.  My less than sharp photography hides the failings with my skills, and many on here would do a much better job - but for me, I was pleased with this one...

I simply love it! I remember my fascination with Roland - the only one remaining, during the tour to Cracov museum.
