Test fitting of the sitting pilot and sitting gunner/observer. Still trying to figure out how to attach the gun to the support ring ... ? Maybe a standing gunner with arms to the handle of the machine gun and a longer - legged support ring ... ?

I also made a machine gun Support Ring from a white plastic "BONE GUARD" button disc, that they attach on HAM bones so that the sharp edges do not cut the plastic wrapping.

Sure enough, the two pilots will not fit through the cockpit covers of my Be2e after all that work - had to narrow the shoulders and make a balsa plug for mounting.

Armament was one Vickers .303" (7 mm) machine gun on lower left side of fuse, and a .303" (7 mm) Lewis machine gun for the Observer in the rear cockpit.

The engine was 70 HP Air-cooled, 90 degree Renault V8 RAF 1a - 72 mph - , and a "scimitar" bladed 4 blade prop (this is a hand carved 2 piece 4 blade balsa prop), and a plate glass slate Camera for the Observer in the rear cockpit (left side of pic on fuse bottoom) - the plane's notorious stability actually helped in its artillery observation and aerial photography duties.

Its "Nemesis" was the German Fokker EIII Eindecker, hence the term for the BE2e - "Fokker Fodder", and the German nickname - "Kaltes Fleisch" (Cold Meat).

The RFC (Royal Flying Corp) suffered mounting casualties, for want of a better replacement, and the BE2e was belatedly withdrawn from front line combat service in 1917. 3,500 BE2e a/c were built.
