Almost ready to rig...

Top wings temporarily fitted so I can get an idea of size.

Nearing completion...

Machine gun is from Gaspatch Models. Rib details and washes in place.

Roland C.II

Been plugging away on this WNW kit for the past couple of months. Figures are from Wings Cockpit, sculpted by Steve Warrilow.

Finished!

Aviattic Lozenge...

A couple of pics at the workbench showing off Aviattic's wonderful lozenge.

Turnbuckles...

Tail is in place but still needs another wash or two with Indigo oil paint, followed by a spray of glosscote, to match the fuselage. I am using GasPatch turnbuckles for the first time and you can see one of the first four I have in place.

Slow and Steady

More progress...slowly but surely...

Cowlings...

After some sanding, cutting, swearing, and scraping I managed to get the cowlings to fit. More of an issue than I thought it would be. Still have to add some oil washes and paint to get the details to pop.

Machine Guns!

Haven't had much time at the bench lately but I did manage to get one of the machine guns from GasPatch seated properly. These resin guns are full of detail and I highly recommend them. I had to carve away a bit of the bottom detail to get it to fit properly. Not much and very easy to do. Once in place you can't even notice it.

Oil washes...

Adding some of the oil washes and getting details to "pop"

Roland D.VIa

Aviattic lozenge applied to the lower wing. Fuselage base coated in blue. Next will come some washed with W&N Indigo to add depth and pop the details. Weathering to follow.
