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.
