Tank adjustment may be necessary later. Form a Copper Drain Line from the Petcock forward from
the Petcock to the corner of the Fuselage and down. See the picture below. Also check the Build
Patterns and Details Plan Sheet for drawing of all connection points.
Form the left and right Cowl Frame Stringers using 1/16" x 2-3/4" Brass Rod using the pattern on the
Build Patterns Plan Sheet. Glue them indexing into sockets on the Cowl Frame and at an angle glue
to Fuselage Stringer just aft of the Machine Gun Mount Frame sockets. See picture below.
Machine Guns:
Drill two (2) 1/32" holes 5/32"on center from the locating Pins on the bottom of the Machine Gun
Receivers. See pictures above. These holes will be for the cables to the trigger.
Using the 3/16" x 2" Tube roll form the two (2) photo etched Cooling Jackets carefully cut from the
P.E. Sheet. Once formed paint them Hull Spar Black inside and out without filling the oval holes. When
paint is dry very carefully index the formed Cooling Jackets onto the round boss on the end of the
Barrel and slide down with the overlapping seam at the bottom to seat on the round boss at the end of
the Receiver. Adjust the fit as necessary and add a drop of thin CA at the base of the Receiver and
Cooling Jacket and at the boss at the end of the Barrel to hold the Cooling Jacket in place. See
picture on the next page. Touch up any paint as necessary on the two machine guns.
