Truly marvelous, Michel!  I thought the first photo was a period photo.  Like Des said, fantastic wood work.  I love the spliced joints.  Beautifully done.
Cheers,
Bud

Brilliant work on your Roland! As usual your paint work,especially the wood, is awesome! I am tempted to look at a future purchase of this kit! As a matter of fact the recent French invasion  8), is tempting me to build a lot of kits! Lovely!!!

Dang! I also thought the first photo was a period post card!

Michel, you are like a magician who keeps pulling rabbits out of a hat! Only these rabbits all have wings!

Keep pulling, dude!

Wonderful work!

Beautiful model of a beautiful aircraft! I remember seeing the picture on the green grass and it was one of those that inspired me to build a Roland.

Best regards,

I too thought that the b&w photos were period pictures. That is truly impressive modelling.
