Eduard 8043 Roland C.II 1/48

Eduard 8043 Roland C.II is an exceptionally detailed plastic scale model kit in the popular 1/48 scale, designed for advanced modelers as well as all aviation history enthusiasts. This model represents the legendary German two-seater reconnaissance aircraft Roland C.II, renowned from the First World War period (1914–1918). This aircraft, often referred to as the "Walfisch" (Whale), was used by the German army mainly for reconnaissance, observation, and artillery spotting missions. Its aerodynamic, innovative silhouette stood out among other aircraft designs of that era, while the biplane wing structure provided outstanding stability and good visibility from the cockpit.

The Eduard 8043 kit is released in the ProfiPACK edition, which means the set includes a comprehensive array of components—in addition to the high-quality, precisely cast plastic parts (Eduard production), you will also find colored photo-etched (PE) elements, a painting mask for precise painting of the cockpit and clear parts, and four options for markings and insignias (decals), reflecting different units operating the Roland C.II. Thanks to a high level of detail accuracy and numerous accessories, this kit allows you to build an exceptionally realistic miniature model of a historic aircraft straight from the Great War era.
