1:32nd scale Roland D.II

Hi all,
I'll be building the 3D printed model of a Roland D.II scout by MDesign in Bulgaria.
This particular aircraft is Roland D.II (Pfalz built), Serial No: 2895/16 of the 1st Aeroplane Detachment, Bulgarian Air Service during 1918.
This aircraft was built under license by Pfalz and was marked with the later style of crosses on the wings, fuselage and rudder. 
The aircraft also carried a legend, forward from the fuselage crosses, which when translated into English read Prince Kyril.
He was Kyril Heinrich Franz Ludwig Anton Karl Philipp, Prince of Preslav, Bulgaria, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duke of Saxony and was the younger son of Bulgarian Tsar Ferdinand.

However, he was not a WW1 pilot. The legend refers to the aircraft being intended for use in the defence of where he was born, which was Sofia on the 17 January 1895.

Being 3D printed and a limited run kit, it should prove interesting if not challenging,

Mike
