If I believe Wikipedia, it was well armed for such a small plane:

"2 × forward-firing synchronized .30 in Marlin guns, 2 × rear-cockpit .30 in Lewis guns on a Scarff ring and 1 × Lewis gun firing through aperture in aircraft's belly".

The rear cockpit gunner was a busy boy during a mission.

I need a volunteer to beta build my Kettenkrad. It feels like it's been sitting in my "Waiting for Beta build" folder since WWII. I made some changes that should help the body go together easier, and changed the tracks from separate links to strips. Although due to the way the tracks are, the track pads still have to be individually made and applied. Anybody interested PM me.

Also, I released both versions of the Burnelli to the freebies section. I never found anybody to finish it, but I've been told it all goes together. If anybody wants to build them and send in build pics, I'd appreciate it.

Designers, did you ever sit down to a beta build, and realize your design skills have exceeded your build skills? I encountered that last week.

I've known for years that I sucked at building, but I always thought I was keeping my designs at a level that even I could build them. Seems that building a paper model is not like riding a bicycle...

Perhaps the onset of over-engineering creep.
Might even be getting too complex for some of your myriad followers.
As a check, how about you enlarge X2 and see how you go with fum... building.



Serious suggestion.

I had to build the body of that Ford E-350 multiple times until I was happy with it. One tip of advice from me is please make the bottom of the trucks a seperate piece.

My version of Rhino stopped working, so I downloaded Rhino 5 and have been using it. The 90 day evaluation period just ran out, and it's stopped working. So this old dog is having to learn new tricks. I've heard Google Sketchup is easy to learn, so I figured I'd download it and have a look. Now I'm looking at the screen, and thinking "...ummm...where do I start?" I need to add the 3 view backgrounds somehow, but I can't find the button that lets me do that. This is gonna be a steep learning curve.

Well, after the use of brute force, veiled, and not so veiled threats, and judicious application of explosives, I was able to get Rhino working again. As a test, I drew this up really quick:
