Historical Information and Application

The Roland D VI b was a German fighter used by the Luftstreitkräfte (German Air Force) during World War I. Produced by Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft GmbH, this exceptional aircraft was developed as a successor to the proven D.VIa and featured a reinforced structure as well as a distinctive water-cooled Mercedes D.IIIaü engine. It debuted in mid-1918 and, although it was not produced in such large numbers as the Fokker D.VII, saw use in air combat on the Western Front until the end of the war.

The model is characterized by faithfully reproduced details: an impressive fuselage silhouette, realistic pilot cockpit components, excellently recreated wings, and a detailed landing gear layout all capture the true appearance of this German machine.
