WNW Roland DVIa Kissenberth.

Harrumph!

I feel like the fat girl turning up in the same dress as the supermodel, next to Przemols exemplary Roland. Oh well, never mind.

Here's mine, using Gaspatch Guns and the Aviattic lozenge.

I think she's gorgeous, Dave.  Not the fat girl at all.  You should be proud of her, mate.  I think that this is a hard scheme to pull off and you've done it brilliantly.
Cheers,
Bud

Fat girl? I would be very proud of that if it were mine. That one is a winner and one to be truly proud of.

Oh, please Dave. Neither mine is a supermodel, nor yours is a fat girl. You have done a fine modelling on this one! Congratulations!

Well, you know what it's like. Once you build some, you look back 6 months and you see all these horrific flaws and wobbly wheels etc on your old fave builds......

Well done on the lozenge by the way. It worked flawlessly. Can we expect Pfalz 12 or Alby cookie cut sheets soon? Desperate to try them!

Hello Dave,

excellent model of Lt. Otto Kissenberth's Roland D VIa.

I spent some days in the 1970is with a close friend of Otto Kissenberth, the former Lt. Theodor Rumpel. Kissenberth was a very fine gentlemen.

It is perhaps of interest, that together with Winfried Bock I'm writing a book "Royal Bavarian Jagdstaffel 23". The book will be published by Aeronaut Books USA. The book will include around 230 photos of Jagdstaffel 23 and 62 colour profiles, mainly based on the testimony of former pilots and written documents.

This will be the second book after “Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 30” already published in 2014.

Many greetings

Bruno

Cheers Bruno! I have read the jasta 30 book and did a hartmanns Witch DVII from it. I'll be doing the diagonally striped DVII with the Phon decals too!
