Dion Dunn Posted August 2, 2022 Share #62 Posted August 2, 2022 Chris, you need a warning email that goes out when you start a new build.

amateur Posted August 2, 2022 Share #63 Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Or he needs starting a very large, very complicated model with lots of tiny parts, so that he is busy at least three weeks. Having said that: actually I like these slightly less complicated models more than the very complicated ones: they have the looks and feel of a good model, and they are not afraid of showing that they are made of paper.

ccoyle Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share #66 Posted August 3, 2022 The Big Reveal! The Lewis gun took about three hours to build, but now she is all done. I really enjoyed this build -- quite refreshing after the struggles with the GPM Hellcat. I can't recommend the Kartonowa Kolekcja kits highly enough -- try one! Now, enjoy the pictures! First, the Lewis gun. The Allies didn't have synchronization gear at this point in the war, so the Lewis gun was mounted to fire above the propeller arc. And now for the glamour shots! And lastly, a family photo of the two KK kits together, the Nieuport and the DH.82A. Thanks for looking in!

Yes, but these are actually rather easy to do. The trick is to carefully slice open the ends of the control horns. Once the forward end of the line is tacked to the fuselage, I put a dab of glue on the control horn and stretch the line across the cut end, then pinch the cut closed.

Ian_Grant Posted August 3, 2022 Share #76 Posted August 3, 2022 I'm absolutely, totally impressed by both these models! I must try a card model sometime. As a kid I was interested in WWI planes but I never wondered about something this model brings to mind: looking at the Lewis gun, and recalling that the SE-5A had a gun up there too, did the pilots actually have to reach way up there to pull the trigger all while flying the plane in a dogfight no less?! Or did they pull a string? 😄 popeye the sailor, mtaylor, thibaultron and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share #77 Posted August 3, 2022 The Nieuport 11 gun mount allowed the gun to be pivoted downward to allow for changing the ammo drum. Later, the Foster mount was adopted. I'm virtually certain that the gun was fired by a cable.

Reloading though before the mounts changed was problematic in that the pilot had to stand up, hold the stick between his legs while he changed the magazine. Belt fed guns were a vast improvement.
