Roland C.II - Eduard - 1/48
« on: June 11, 2012, 09:06:41 PM »
I started on this kit last week.

After building some 1/32 WW1 kits I decided to give this kit a try specially because there is no 1/32 Roland C.II.

Interior photos.

Everything is painted with Vallejo. Wood effects done with oil paint.



All PE come from the box (it´s a Profipack version).

Thanks Andrew!

More stuff:

The halves were joined. The fit isn´t perfect but quite easy to do once you get the instrument panel to the right size (it gets in the way). The cover over the gunner´s cabin required adjustment with putty.






The under wing fit had to be worked on. Lots of sanding and putty. The phot shows what looks like a gap in the fit but actually its just a dark line where I covered the gap with CA glue.






There was an ugly sink mark just ahead of the pilot cabin.




This is how it looks at the moment.

Welcome to the forum, Marco.  What a great way to introduce yourself.  You've done a great job on the cockpit and the hardest part of the build is now behind you (all that filling and sanding).  Should be smooth sailing here on out.  This is a lovely kit and a lot of fun to build.
Cheers,
Bud

Thank you, people!  :D :D

Glad you liked it so far ;D

Didn´t do much yesterday. Only worked on flaps, aleirons and rudder.


The flaps and wings com in one piece:

 

Using a small saw and a scriber I managed to move the flaps without taking them off:

 

One goes up; the other goes down:

 

Tail pieces were repositioned too:

Really nice job so far!  I bet it seems really small after a few WNW under your belt.  Keep it up.  Color scheme will be nice!  ;D

It really does look small, Dan.

Specially because my last kit was the Wnw Gotha  ;D :o ;D :o
