Jasta 59 LFG Roland D.VIb "red-tail" (full color)

 This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of an L.F.G. Roland D.VIb of Jasta 59.  We only have one black & white picture as a reference for this plane, but the tail color looks somewhat lighter than the stripe color, so we speculate that it is a red shade.  It could have been brown or gray, but we will probably never know.  The D.VIb featured the 185hp Benz Bz.IIIa engine, whose production numbers had only reached 179 deliveries by 1 Nov 1918 due to shifting priorities and experimentation in the Benz factory.

No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired.  The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit.  The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card.  You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:LFGRolD6b-59red-card.jpg.

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks.  Both are robust materials and fine for gaming.   Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces.  "Matte HDFC" choice means the print is spray-coated in the factory, and the difference is fairly subtle.  You can find more material photos and comparisons at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF).
