This is a 1:144 scale model of an L.F.G. Roland C.IIa with the late rollover cage and a front-firing machine gun. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.

The L.F.G. Roland C.II gave the pilot a superb field of view by moving the to wing to the level of the top of the fuselage, while wing stagger and root cut-outs improved the restricted downward vision. In place of traditional struts and bracing cables, single I-beam interplane struts were used. Tail surfaces were adjusted to compensate for the deep fuselage. In service the major deficiency was that the thin wings would distort, to the detriment of climbing capability. The C.II was nicknamed the Walfisch (Whale). Attention to streamlining and the reduction of drag was paramount in the designers' minds, and when introduced the C.II was a fast as contemporary fighters. In fact, it was difficult to remain in formation with its rival two-seaters from Rumpler, Albatros, and LVG. Landing the C.II was difficult though, due to the pilot's limited downward vision, made worse by the ear radiators.

While its service life was substantial, there were never more than sixty-four at the front at any time, so it could never be considered a plane that was "common".
