Over on WW1aircraftmodels.com they say it`s a Roland C.II Walfisch!


 


If that's true, i'll be the happiest man in Germany!


Wunderbar!

Can someone explain what's so nifty about the C.II? I don't get it at all.

 

It's the chance to have a nifty window box and flowers next to those curtained windows ;)

The Walfisch (or "Whale") was just beautifully schlumpy, IMO.

 

And MvR flew several, including this one:

How cool is that?

A C.II and a C.IIa, does anyone else hear Jingle Bells?  This is truly outstanding news.  Even better, from the artwork it looks like MvR's is an option on the C.II.  Giant happy dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Does anyone know if there are any Bavarian markings for either of these beasties?

 

It's just something about those blue and white diamonds - I can't resist!!

We are a funny lot! When I found out that there was going to be a new kit, I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve. Remember that feeling of breathless anticipation?

 

Now, all I have to do is plunk down the cash to get these beasties. And,of course, the various details to go with. Grant, you need to start in on ReXx for exhausts!

The early version looks great, I have been waiting a long time for this, order will go in today, but I wonder how long it will be before there are some other decals available...

 

Mine is now on its way, order placed today, by my lovely wife, for my birthday, yay

I just orderd a C.II and a C.IIa and I still feel that way.  We are a funny lot, maybe in part that is what helps make this such a great hobby, the fact that it helps us stay in touch with that little kid in us.

Unfortunately this isn't the mount of Manfred... It has been previously been identified as that.. But when he was an observer with Kagohl II, he would of been called on to any of the crew of any of the unit machines... So it is possible that he did crew on Spots...
