WNW Roland DVIb
« on: October 18, 2014, 04:55:32 AM »
Ok, my Roland arrived a few days ago, from what I can see so far, it looks like a super kit.
 I decided (I think) to build this one. Started on the engine, still have some to do on it.

Nice start.

Great job on the engine Robert.  The Roland is a great looking
aeroplane and I'm looking forward to following your promising
build. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Really nice engine. I like the harness from the pipe on the side.

Got started on the cockpit. Painted the interior planking, assembled and painted the seat, dash and other interior stuff. Trial fit on the cockpit to the fuselage. Seems to fit pretty well. No where as fussy a fit as on the Fokker DVII.

Got the fuselage buttened up and I'm starting on painting the planking. 

Started off with a base color of Tamiya XF3 flat yellow and XF59 about 50:50. I'm trying to get a fairly light wood color over all. 



Next is a subtle under coating of Burnt Sienna oil paint.  Once that's dry I'll start my attempt at wood grain. If that doesn't work out, I guess the paint job will become a camo scheme.
