Wingnut Wings 32041 Roland C.IIa late 1/32 – Plastic model airplane kit

The Wingnut Wings 32041 Roland C.IIa late 1/32 scale model is a high-quality plastic model kit that allows for an accurate recreation of one of the most distinctive German biplanes from the First World War. The Roland C.II aircraft, also known as the “Walfisch” (Whale), was an innovative design produced by Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft. This particular “late” variant represents the late version of the machine introduced from 1916 until the end of the war.

The Roland C.IIa variants were primarily used by the German Empire as a light reconnaissance and fighter aircraft. They took part in operations on the Western Front from 1916, constituting an important component of the German air force. The plane stood out due to its aerodynamic, enclosed fuselage and two-man crew. Its compact silhouette ensured high speed and better crew protection than other designs of the era.

The 1/32 scale Wingnut Wings model is made of high-quality plastic, providing detail precision and sturdy components. This set includes finely reproduced structural details of the fuselage, wings, as well as a rich array of cockpit and engine compartment parts. It also offers decals allowing the completion of several historic paint schemes used by Luftstreitkräfte units. The box contains plastic parts for building the model along with a clear assembly manual. However, glue and paints are not included and must be purchased separately.
