"WingnutWings" colour photo archive has added many new images from the restored Roland D.VI in the Krakow Museum.
This must be the last existing original airframe of a Roland. The Poles intend to rebuild new wings to complete
the airplane.

Guys, the historical B/W photo archive there is also phantastic - a "must-see"!
The great WW1 air war historian Greg van Wyngarden is still constantly adding new photos from his huge collection
to share them with us, and I can only say a big "THANK YOU" to Greg and to WingnutWings for this great archive!

Love the fuselage construction. Reminds me some of a wood canoe my friend's Dad built when we were in Jr High. We helped some and sometimes he'd let us have a beer for the work.

Yes, a Roland D.VI in WOFF would be nice! Anyone, perchance...?

I'm still with you on this Olham. The Roland DVI would be a great addition.

Keep the dream alive!

Okay, some more pics. If 3D modelling was as easy as making and painting a plastic model
(which is still quite fiddly work and needs tons of patience, and calm hands, I know!),
I would try and build one.
