Well after watching my son's football (Soccer) Team slam the opposition 5-0 on Saturday morning with one killer goal by my son I was able to dedicate some of the afternoon and then all day Sunday to the Roland.
The first job was to build the horizontal tailplane I added the 5mm wire so to give a better attachment and I've learned my lesson and did this small modification before even applying the primer!

After this a base coat of flat white was applied and then masked ready for preshading, a walk in the park in comparison to the fish scales.

The same was done to the lower wings and then several coats of clear varnish. The tops I will use oils and for the bottoms Aviattics bleached Linen 'light.

While I was waiting for the fuselage to cure, I also painted up the rudder.

All this then goes in to my drying box, put on a shelf and left to do its thing.
