| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 27-Feb-17 11:03 |  | | Views : 716 | | If you have a small scale plane, Easybuilt has a good selection of different scale pilots with different designs http://www.easybuiltmodels.com/spare.htm . Pilot 2 and 3 go into my 1:20 scale BE2e (one for the pilot and one for the gunner/observer), and either 4 or 5 will go into my 1:14.7 scale "Herr" Fokker D7. The 4th pilot is very detailed and overlapps easily because it is only 9 thou thick, and glues up easily with Easybuilt, good tack and quick drying, white "Sobo" glue. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 27-Feb-17 10:52 |  | | Views : 618 | | Three bottom base planks left to install. First pilot needs a frontal bib extention downwards into the fuse as the rear of the pilot has to sit a little back on top of the fuse - I will hide the line with cockpit combing. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 27-Feb-17 10:44 |  | | Views : 744 | | I decided to make pilots for all of my WW1 models for their empty open cockpits. I carved out a balsa plank base for inserting flat into the 4th pilot from the left, after first sanding the bottom of the pilot flat and even on a flat sheet of sandpaper. |
