Sorry if this seems repetitious but this is a 3/4 left view of a "typical" full scale S.E.5.

I would like to start off this posting by: acknowledging and expressing my sincere thanks and gratitude to DD. Sorry, but I had to say it on the forum. Now, more than ever, I can understand such professional modelers defer to him. Thank you, DD. In this view, I'm starting to do a couple of things. I've decided to photograph the airframe against a black background to help bring our some detailing. I've already planked the lower wing and test-fitting onto the fuselage.

I dipped a small paint brush into silver pain and dabbed it onto a paper towel until it was almost dry and then dry-brushed onto the stock accessories to give them some highlights.

Stock of the gun. The hole is when I accidentally pushed the pin too far in my attempts to simulate rivets. this is okay, since this part will be hidden. I apologize for the slightly blurry image.

Using my best guess (eyeballing), I figured the stock to the gun would be about j"just so big" and cut a block of balsa wood. Used left over plastic cut and scored to shape the stock. Then used a pin to push out some rivets.

Small front end was made from tubular strips of plastic cut down short. Used a pin to help located the holes followed by using a pin vise.

Starting to look like a Vickers...

Super glued each strip until the whole barrel was covered.

To simulate the long grooves on the main barrel, I cut short strips of .060" half-round plastic strips. The chose of thickness of the strips was purely arbitrary as it "looked just about right."
