| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 06-Mar-17 19:44 |  | | Views : 310 | | Reference pic from my buddy Bob at the Historic Hangar Mosquito Restoration - looks like two rings that are hinged in the rear, and fitted with side mounts to move the top ring up and down. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 06-Mar-17 19:29 |  | | Views : 292 | | 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 ... ? |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 06-Mar-17 19:22 |  | | Views : 310 | | Test positioning of Rear Gunner, Machine Gun Support Ring, and Machine Gun held in position temporarilly, with a pin.. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 04-Mar-17 21:37 |  | | Views : 347 | | Here is a better pic of the Instrument Panels for my two seater BE2e. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 04-Mar-17 12:09 |  | | Views : 318 | | Photo of two instrument panels glued to file folder cardboard, for the front and rear cockpits of my BE2e. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 04-Mar-17 12:05 |  | | Views : 359 | | 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. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 04-Mar-17 12:02 |  | | Views : 366 | | Pilot and toothpics are glued to the mounting plug. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes DPCM 119 BE2e | Parked | 04-Mar-17 12:01 |  | | Views : 345 | | 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. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:45 |  | | Views : 628 | | The wax paper came off easily - that is a new pilot in the jig now - the one just finished is in front leaning on a block - now a very strong and solid pilot with a flush base plate epoxied to the inside of the pilot body bottom. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:40 |  | | Views : 591 | | I then pulled out the round head pins from the underside, BEFORE dismantling the jig. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:37 |  | | Views : 570 | | I pinned a little extra pressure on top of the pilot head to hold everything in place while the glue dried. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:35 |  | | Views : 630 | | I brushed on 5 min Epoxy glue onto the bottom inside edges of the plastic pilot, and them stuck him onto and over the edges of the balsa base plank, the pilot bottom being flush with the three jig plank flat surface. |
