See, I told you he'd do one
I just can't keep up with the production rate of this company.

Looks real good! On the want list.
Has anyone done any stats for the DII?
I was looking at using the CII stats with Immelmann added, but this may be a bit slow for it, thoughts anyone

That flat cote (Humbrol) really gives papermodels a realistic finish.
but remember to really give it a good stir up, or it will either
1)Stay glossy
or
2) look like everything`s been sprayed with yoghurt !
Nice model Lee
Lovely Model Lee, impressive work again

Wings of Linen site gives it a V Deck.

It has been a 'V' deck since at least Nov. 2016, in the Unofficial Aircraft list of that date.
The posts above were all from 2011

Yes, older threads...but I have been sending messages to those members who used to be active, trying to get them back on, and answering some of their posts so that they see they received a response.

I am so tempted to buy a couple of these scouts.
Good for you!Yes, older threads...but I have been sending messages to those members who used to be active, trying to get them back on, and answering some of their posts so that they see they received a response.
After ten years they might not still be around, but you never know.

I have been looking at both the Roland D.II and D.VI. Interesting to add some lesser known aircraft to the table. The D.II has a much easier paint scheme with the green and brown coloring. The Lozenge on the wings of the D.VI.....ICK! I know some of the members here are good at it. I am not one of them.
Agree, Dan! The D.IIa seems to have been used more, but has a poorer rate of climb. But it was the primary aircraft for Jasta 25 in Macedonia. Also used a lot on the Eastern Front!

Guilty as charged Darryl. I like the look of the Roland D.VI a. But I may opt for the Roland D.II as it has an easier camouflage scheme to paint onto the upper wings and fuselage.You know you want to!!!
So, there isn't an acceptable way to fake a lozenge camoflage?
There may be a way to fake it. Other than decals and painting lots of dots, I am not sure how make it happen. The hard part is the bit under the top wing. I am sure you could let it go, but it would bother me that it wasn't the correct color scheme.
For the forum women who are WGF fans:

D.II is a lot easier to paint for sure. A very interesting plane to have for early-mid war. The D.VI is a sweet plane to fly with the F deck. Limited to summer-fall of 1918 though. The work put into camo I think is worth it.
Yet again, you and I are of the same mind
