    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 !

    Speedwise, the Roland D.II was the same as the Albatros D.II and D.III. So, it should be a "J" 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!

    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.

    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.

    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
