Fokker Fodder

Nice box art Airfix!

Be2c 

Be2e conversion potential!

I have recently acquired a couple of the Airfix Be2c kits via eBay for use in Knights of the Sky. This might seem a bit of a pointless exercise, given their reputation as unarmed 'Fokker Fodder', but I will be using one for 1916 games and the other as a conversion to a Be2e using a spare Re8 upper wing and struts. I'll also be arming mine with the rather nifty backward firing Lewis gun mount included in the kit, with the Be2e also having a forward firing Lewis gun, albeit with a very limited arc of fire. The kit options are both for home defence anti-zeppelin aircraft, but mine will be for reconnaissance sorties over the Western Front, so a very useful addition to the kit pile for potential scenarios. The kits are also really well-designed and will be a lot of fun to build.
