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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

I used this pic as a guide for the rear gunner machine gun mount. |

| What a metamorphosis they have undergone since they were originally glued together. Considering their relatively small scale I can easily see why painting them was an arduous task. Magnum kudos! |

Five Pilots finally finished painting. |

| Sorry. My error. Must be a distant relative 😊 I just checked the original post. It's Kopf. I had a typo today. They must be related! |

| Very nice to see you nurturing your minions, enabling them to blossom like flowers in the spring. Have you named them as yet? |

PILOT PAINTING PROGRESS - Thinking of toneing down, with gray color, the eyes, eyebrows, and the eyelashes - the whites of the eyes will not be white but grayish white, and the pupil will be shaded down, and the iris of the eyes will also be shaded down - that is what I am thinking ... |
