| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 01-Apr-17 09:20 |  | | Views : 308 | | Brass coated coffee jar "freshness seals" (.001" thick) used for "S" shaped cladding cutouts that include extra cutout strips of "stretch out and wrap around edge strips". Template sheet for loating the cladding positions, one piece on each side of the prop. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 31-Mar-17 11:44 |  | | Views : 320 | | I removed the old "half circle" claddings from the prop tips, sanded the prop down to 400 grit paper, and sprayed 3 coats of Krylon Clear Gloss acrylic rattle can paint onto the balsa. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 31-Mar-17 11:35 |  | | Views : 354 | | I have decided to scrap the old calddings and try to imitate the "S" shaped claddings of the 4 blade DH4 Rolls Royce prop. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 31-Mar-17 11:32 |  | | Views : 349 | | Originally, my 4 - blade BE2e prop had "half circle" cloth claddings made from brass 0.001" thick coffee jar freshness seals, and were just bent to shape and sliped over (not glued) to the prop tips. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 28-Mar-17 21:57 |  | | Views : 409 | | The machine gun assembly is mounted to the plane with the gunner in position. The gunner is also moveable, as he has a pin glued, that sticks out from his bottom, that sticks into a hole in the mounting plate in the gunner cockpit that the gunner figure sits on. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 28-Mar-17 21:49 |  | | Views : 354 | | I then installed the Lewis machine gun (there is a wire sticking out from the bottom of the machine gun balsa bracket mount), into one of several adjustable holes drilled into the base ring. The aluminum top ring can slide to different positions over the base ring, and the machine gun can be placed into the different holes in the base ring. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 28-Mar-17 21:43 |  | | Views : 323 | | I made the adjustable top ring from 3/32" dia. aluminum tubing ( the first try with 1/8" tubing was way too thick). I made little brown sleeves from a plastic brown lid from a styrofoam coffee cup, and I CA'd them to the adjustable top ring, so that it could slide around on the bottom base ring (painted golden brown). I then slid the top adjustable ring onto the base ring. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 28-Mar-17 21:36 |  | | Views : 311 | | I used this pic as a guide for the rear gunner machine gun mount. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #326 Rearwin Speedster | Parked | 26-Mar-17 13:46 |  | | Views : 404 | | I made the wooden wheel pants as per plan, and I stained all of the wing struts, nose block, and wheel pants and struts, with "Golden Oak" color, and then spray clear-coated them all with Krylon Clear Gloss. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #326 Rearwin Speedster | Parked | 26-Mar-17 13:42 |  | | Views : 390 | | To install the decals of the wing, fuse, and rudder, onto the right spot, I cut out templates, with the individual call sign letters and numbers, and the fuse side decals, the holes thereof being cut out a little larger for the decal placement, and I masking taped these templates to the fuse and wing first, in oder to place the decals straight. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #326 Rearwin Speedster | Parked | 25-Mar-17 19:28 |  | | Views : 355 | | Our last day of fun for me and my bird dog "Trapper", upland gamebird hunting at the local pheasant hunt preserve. Perfect weather - sunny, no wind, 18 deg F at the break of dawn rising to 27 deg F by noon, and a lot of action hunting the wiley Ringneck. We love an organic meal once in a while. |
