That hump looks really terrific, Scott!

Whoops! That should have been converging at 100ft ahead.

Real-life MGs were align to converge to a point about 10ft ahead of the aeroplane, but doesn’t matter for yours.

I think thats horrible. But i guess its a form of flattery, or you just gotta see it that way so it doesnt bother you. Your doing some awsome work. Love watching how you think everything through.

Absolutely outstanding work once again, Scott! Your dedication and problem-solving skills are truly inspiring, and the results of your hard work speak for themselves. It’s frustrating to hear about someone stealing your videos, but your talent and integrity will always set you apart. Looking forward to your next update!

Absolutely stunning stuff on making the hump. Not everybody knows that the Camel never was the official designation of this Sopwith; actually I think it was Sopwith F1. The "Camel" designation popularly came about because of the hump, which was nothing more than a metal dome (hump) above the double machine guns, made to heat them to prevent freeze-jamming. The Camel was a difficult plane to fly; its best feature was the double machine guns. This double fire-power made it possible for the Camel to deal with the Albatross dV, which dominated the air battle from the fall of 1916 to the spring f 1917, and whose major feature also was its 7,92 mm double machine guns. The Camel's synchronized double Vickers machine guns were a major factor why the Camel turned the tide of the air battle during the spring and summer of 1917 in WW I.

Beautiful work Scott 👍

Getting fun now!

Buen trabajo!!👍🏻

Excellent work!

I love your build. Never boring. Keep it up.

Great job! Setting up the Vic's .... what fun! Use a darker reddish brown for the stain.

It's looking wonderful!

Did you file a claim with you tube, I found the channel that steals others content?

scott: sorry about the dirt bag youtuber who's stealing your content, and in the 🇺🇸 we call that joint a 'rabbet' 🐇. 🍻

Great work

Great progress - nice result!

Keep em coming Scott. Nice work!

As always another great job, thanks for sharing

Excellent work! Perhaps some leather that could be laced around the cabane / fuselage union?

Coming along very nicely. She'll be a sweet bird...

Excellent Scott.

I had serious doubts that your aluminum hump would work out, that second bend looked highly problematic. Really pleased I got to see your process, bending over pipe, equally pleased it worked out nicely :-)

Eucalyptus veneer with Maple stain, looks wicked !

Scott when were you at 38 Sqn and East Sale

G'day, Yay Team ! One wonders how many YT Videos are out there showing how to hump one's Camel ; slowly, carefully, and only moving one part at a time, clearly ! Good job mate. Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

Enjoying your amazing work very very nice!

Love your work fella. The theatre of closing the door is pure Hollywood

Coming along nicely Scott, I spent 12 months of my apprenticeship working up at Mt Cook NZ. All day long we'd see and hear Mt Cook Airlines 748's come and go, they were a nice air craft. 👍

Just catching up. Happy new year. Looks so good! As always, thanks for sharing 🙏

@scottmatthews5280 Thought you were in the RAAF, more than obvious with the trainer colours on your aircraft. I was at 486Sqn in the 80's then Support Command (RO4) and Wagga, shadow posted to MOVCORDC. What trade were you?

Great progress with the Camel. It was cool to see your framed picture of HS-748. We had one of those when I was a mechanic for Air Illinois so many years ago.

Do aerodrome kits come with the spoked wheels? If not were do you get them from?

Yeah the gear on his planes tend to sit a bit short. It's especially noticeable on his Dr. 1. Something to do with being easier to manouver on the ground?

The cowels are really coming together beautifully!

Looking great! One little tweak at a time, out of the way! The list is getting shorter, and it's showing your attention to the details!

I love this project. This is really some beautiful work!

👍👍

Will the turtle back plywood behind the cockpit notch into the ply sides so address the issue of that corner ??

Good stuff mate. You’re trucking along nicely. I think you’re right about the gear length being a bit short. The original props had a much bigger diameter and needed clearance

Looking most excellent! I womder if (somewhere in the future) you could fab up some boot covers for where the cabane struts meet the fuselage? to protect the attachment points and keep the weather and wind out. Perhaps a bit of leather that could be laced over?

Looking good, thanks for sharing 👍 is the Link trainer with the Air Cadets next door still working, back in the 70s l had a lot of great times there

Lookin good!!

Another excellent video! Certainly coming along very nicely.

Can’t wait to see it fly!

The cowel looks so perfectly positioned bravo!

Brilliant work

Thanks for sharing another great and interesting build

It's always interesting... never boring to watch Scott, you're doing a fantastic job 😊
