Default RE: SE5a 1/6 Scale

Steve :

Al right !! That is exactly what I needed.
I couldnt find out how the cable hooked to the gun and really didnt know if it was a cable or rod. Now I know its a cable and how it hooked to the trigger.

THANKS !! I just knew someone building as scale as you are would know stuff like that.
The reason I am so exited about this is I had just about give up on tring to find this out.
I had posted this everywhere and people let me know that there was a mechanism of some sort from the cockpit to the gun but they didnt know exactly what.

I dont know if you are aware of this but the Bristol F2b didnt really have a gun on the top wing. Just this one particular one I am building had one. It was squadren #22, They desided on their own to put one up there and this is the best picture I could find and there just isnt nothing in the picture to show you how it was fired.
I asume the cable was taken off in restoration and hasnt been put back on yet because the picture is from restoration photos.

If you dont mind Ill post a picture of my gun mount too. As you can tell I made it quite a bit shorter because I didnt want it to get broke off so easy.
My plane isnt turning out completely scale anyway.

THANKS a bunch Steve !!

SEEYA, TIM
