MAC Distribution 1/72 Roland D.VIa 1205/18
« on: February 17, 2014, 06:09:17 PM »
Started together with Ssasho0's bigger counterpart, this one was finished some 3 weeks ago...
In addition to MAC's PE fret, some details are scratchbuilt; wood is painted with oil burnt umbra over Humbrol enamel. Lozenge decals are Techmod (rib tapes are cut from the sheet as well), while serial is cut from decals given in the set.

Beautifully done Profa, the overall finish on this model is superb, well done expecially being in 1:72 scale.

It is a very fine little Roland, Profa! That MAC kit is very nice, isn't it?

Thank you all :)

Yes, Prez, it's a beautiful little kit, and a joy to build - my build log in English is unfortunately lost somewhere on the internet, but could be found in Serbian (if it is of interest to someone) here: http://www.krilapetrovgrada.org.rs/forum/index.php?topic=3074.0

I remember seeing the beginnings of this one on another forum, Zoran.  I'm so glad to see her finished.  What a stunning beauty she turned out to be.  Congratulations, my friend.
Cheers,
Bud

a lovely little plane, the wood is just great. I was looking for that picture from the model show in Belgrade with the 1:72 and 1:32 side by side (still in progress) to show the difference in the size, but was not able to find.

I have only one picture of our models side-by-side, albeit very blurred, and I hoped that you have it :-\
I'll check with fellow Serbian and Slovenian modellers, since I'm sure somebody took few photos, but don't remember who

Totally agree with the others - a wonderful model the more so as it is in God's Own Scale. The wood finish is something that I would like to be able to do - very realistic and very impressive.

Beautiful Albatros, Profa, especially in the teeny scale.  The wooden
fuselage looks great. Well done!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
