1/32 Wingnut Wings Roland DVI.a - Jasta 23b

[AndrewS]

It is interesting to see that you have the same fitting issues with the engine cowlings like I had. It's a pity, as the rest of the kit is a real surprise fitting-related (or not, as the rest is more or less the "typical" WNW-standard of fit).

Well, now they are just layed down there, not fitted yet, but yes, it looks like they are a little bit too thick.
I think that on the intake side I will not fit the panel. On the exhaust side  the panel will need some thinning to make it fit well.

Best,

Andrew

It is progressing really good and no doubt will be a real stunner when finished
regarding the engine cowlings - I just left them on the ground in front of the plane

Best regards,

Hi!

Not much work the last week.
I've been very busy at work and at home with 3d modelling on pc...

I've clear coated the propeller with tamiya clear yellow and added the decals



Some weathering on the landing gear



And I've started to add the turnbuckles for the rigging on the lower wing



That's all. I hope to do more work this week

Marvellous propeller Andrew and the weathering is nice. Very well done!

Kind regards

Lovely Prop. The Lozenge looks excellent. Are those Gaspatch turnbuckles or home made?

Thanks.
The turnbuckles are Gaspatch, very nice.

Hi!

I've installed the wings and started the rigging.
As usual Wingnut has done a fantastic job and the wings went on without problem
Also the rigging gave me no problem.
I love the Gaspatch turnbuckles 
For the rigging I've used an elastic thread









That's all, during the week end I'll do some better pictures and I'll go on with the ailerons and the landing gear.

best,

Andrew

Wonderful work, Andrew.  The rigging looks great, as does the lozenge and propeller.
The Roland is taking shape beautifully.

Cheers,
Ernie

[Nigel Jackson]

I think Ernie is spot on here.

Hello Andrew:

This is coming along beautifully.  I am just catching up a bit here and I like the faded W&W Lozenge looks on the wings.  Your wood tones are quite realistic and certainly add interest to the model.  I also like your use of the GP turnbuckles.  Nicely done.
Looking forward to more.

Best

Finished!



Now I'll post a thread in the finished section with other pictures.

I'm very proud of the result, not perfect but absolutely the best model I've evere build! 
The aftermarket parts that I've choose was also great (wood & wire decals, taurus resins and Gaspatch turnbuckles), thanks to those great guys that produce them 

Now it's time to choose the next model to build... the Salmson? The DH9? Will see...

Thanks to everybody for the C&C and the nice words!

is a beautiful aeroplane.
