    I'm liking it! I am doing two of the Shapeways for Zeppelin interceptors each with Strange mounts for the over wing guns . . . hint hint

    PO William Leefe Robinson, VC
    No. 39 (Home Defence) Squadron

    The Firing Arc is for 45 degrees up and forward, not straight ahead through the prop.

    Should the BE2C also have a rear arc of fire? Wasn't the gun moveable from front arcs to rear?

    Yes, sort of. It depends on what version, and squadron (third Tuesday of the month?). The images you posted show the shared pilot/observer post mount. So, a rear upper arc over the pilot's head, and upper front arc over the upper wing. There could be another gun on interchangeable post mounts on either side of the observer's position (in the above image, it could be out of view if on the left/port side). This plane's firing arcs could be as complicated as the BE2b.

    The pilot would have to reach a long way to operate that gun. I doubt this one was pilot operated.

    Ah, another plane with more options than I can imagine! Love the 4th Squadron card. I have been looking for one of these for a while. Thanks!
