First model posted here.  My WNW Roland DVIB finished as the camouflage test bed, McCook Field Dayton, Ohio 1921.  Thanks for looking!

Beautiful Roland my friend. I got a real kick out of the clipboard hanging on her wing,excellent touch. Looking forward to seeing more of your first class projects.
Highest Regards,

Very nicely done Ryan and with a very attractive colour scheme, you did a superb job with the engine and the cockpit and the rigging is excellent, well done.

That looks great!
I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

This really looks good, Ryan -

I really admire the way you have painted the camoflage pattern - was this sprayed or brush painted?

Regards

Beautifully done, Ryan!  I, too, love the clipboard.

That is really good - the clipboard adds a realistic touch which is almost unique. The leather fittings are also very realistic - I too would much like to see more of your work.
