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.
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 :-)
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.

Thank you for the kind words. It's been a challenge, but it's taking shape!

Excellent Scott.
Thanks
Excellent work! Perhaps some leather that could be laced around the cabane / fuselage union?
Possibly!
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.
Eucalyptus veneer with Maple stain, looks wicked !
