Wingnut Wings 1/32 Roland C.II Walfisch
By Peter White
This is my interpretation of the scheme of Rudolf Windisch on his mission on 2 October 1916 to insert his observer, Maximillian von Cossel 100km behind Russian lines where he laid explosives to destroy a railway bridge. Windisch returned the following day and picked Cossel up to return him to base.
Tamiya paints, Mr Metal Color for the metal bits, EZ-line for the rigging. Brass paint for turnbuckles.
Gaspatch Parabellum 14 gun. I build the Gaspatch ASI but it appears that it wasn't used on this particular aircraft and it looked like one of those fragile bits that would break off so I didn't put it on the model.
Fantastic kit that just falls together due to Wingnut Wings' superb engineering and it makes an interesting subject in the cabinet, especially alongside my Roland D.VIb from last year.
