its hard to resist when by far the most accurate and awesome kits are wnw and they really are affordable if you compare to what you get from elsewhere per buck.

With the release of the two Roland kits and the soon to be released Roland C.IIa (early) I think I will just settle for the first one, the first release, Roland C.II.

You lucky 32nd scale lads!  I think even those who build in other scales should be happy - WnW instructions are simply great source of info on detailling.
Best regards

Re: WNW Roland C11 - aftermarket Lewis guns available?

Hi Kornbeef, as you say, you "already received the Taurus bits for the engine and such", do you or does anybody here have any other recommendations for aftermarket bits and pieces? (And which Taurus bits did you order?)
I also ordered the C.II a few days ago (no shipping notification yet..) and wonder, whether there are aftermarket Lewis guns.

Hi Richard.

I ordered the Manifold nuts for the intake manifold & the timing gear for the Mercedes DIII engine. It comes as two separate options one with the rocker box covers as separate or attached to the timing gear. To be honest the simpler option is perfectly fine.  JUTS make sure you order for the DIII and NOT the DIIIau (different timing gear.)

I already have a supply of sparkplugs from Taurus.

As theres little more to see that's plenty for me as I'll be having the cowls on most likely.

I don't know of a better detailed Lewis gone to be honest. Just lake yourself I'm fancying a Lewis armed version I think the WNW Lewis isn't bad though I'd have liked to see the mount for it broken down a little. I see this as an excellent chance for the aftermarket guys to cash in  ;D

As the CII seems to have l no serial no's on show etc I guess with the decals provided you can do pretty much what you want for once?  Looking forwards to seeing the different interpretations once the build blogs start. I'm leaning towards CDL/Yellow if only to look different in the cabinet.

Cheers Keith

My CII is with UK customs right now. Funny it takes 2 days to get from the other side of the world then grinds to a halt here in Blighty.... Trying to clear some bench space as I type this (damn those PT boats take up so much room! lol.

Oh dear Now I'm hoping I get what's ordered. Guess I'll find out in a couple of days as its cleared customs and on it's way to the depot.

Looking forwards to the next update on this build greatly though  ;)
