Hallo Ade,
first of all I express my appreciation for the work done so far on your Roland, I will make a Fly kit : the D VIa of O.Kissenberth, I like very much the green tone you used (Interior green), which color did you use exactly?

Thanks

Antonio

Hi Antonio - I use Tamiya XF76 which is actuallt Imerial japanese naval Grey-Green ...but it's close to what we need.

I also applied a thin wash made from odourless thinners and oils.

I have just realised I have mixed up part A3 & A9 - oh well, not going to start chopping up the control column now...

Only I will know, and you guys here. And yes, I have fitted the control handle on the correct end of the column now..spotted that too.

 :-\

Edit - changed my mind...knife out, glue out, fixing my schoolboy errors..

Brilliant start, Ade!  Your painting is outstanding, especially on the fuel tank and ammo cans.

Got a chance to do some work today before I head off with my band for a little trip.

Opinions on the shade of red I have chosen here - I know it's all a little speculative but this seems near..it is not as "pink" as it looks in this picture, it's more of a wine red.

good work on the wood, I really like it!

regarding the red - it seems a bit too bright, you will have to weather and tone it down :) It is your model and if the colour is pleasing for your eyes, then it is completely fine!

Best reagrds,
Sasho

Yeah - it will be getting a coat of weathering  :D I will post another when it's toned down.

Also some work on the belts...
