Sopwith Camel top wing completion with ailerons.

[@all4scale1]

Looking good mate. Gotta go olive drab on the wheel covers

[@scottmatthews5280]

Yes you do

[@johnw4659]

Phenomenal work. I truly enjoy these chronicles of your progress every week. Way to go!

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thanks a bunch!

[@philmiller681]

Green wheels.

[@philf2854]

The DA 50 standoffs came in useful😎

[@scottmatthews5280]

Saves making them

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Green on the wheel covers I should think. Great progress!

[@scottmatthews5280]

I think so too!

[@JerryCarr-m1w]

Another fantastic video Scott.its getting really close to putting her in the air.cant wait.keep up the great work and videos

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thank you

[@glenn3379]

can't wait to see the wings back on it.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Me too it might be after engine runs though

[@Love2FlyKAP]

For the compass use a thin strip of wood, so its flex's over the ribs, with a center pin for the center of the roundel and a hole at the difference radii for a pencil tip to go into for marking the diameters.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Yes, that is what I did on the fuselage thanks

[@model1issue138]

Hi, Scott! Yeah, the wing roundels are BIG indeed! (Slightly intimidating.) It's easier to handle a "compass" or "trammel point" because it is just a couple of inches longer than the RADIUS of the roundel... about 27 or 28 inches rather than 52 or 54 inches. For my SE5a a flexible trammel point of thin bendable wood was used, and I taped a small block of wood to one end, and drilled a hole through this block to hold a mechanical pencil - which kept the pencil point steady and perpendicular to the surface even going over the airfoil. Inventory is tough, fabric, tubes, the "whole nine yards" in fact! I thought about starting an account with ACS&S, for that reason, but it seemed too much. I'm interested in how you'll attach the firewall. There's too many options. And in particular, how will you seal the outer edges of the firewall? Thanks, good luck and keep up the good work!

[@scottmatthews5280]

Should be fun job next week

[@andrewhart5000]

I love the camel and I love these vids! I love the black and white pinwheel pattern on the wheels with black and white stripes on the cowel

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thanks, it’s been done recently though.

[@SandyPerdue-kb1hv]

Green for the wheels for sure

[@jt822]

Awesome covering job, and yes they should have put the fabric rolled on a tube, not folded. enjoy your break .

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thank you!

[@GSAPilot]

I would definitely go with Green "Olive Drab" on the wheels.

[@scottmatthews5280]

I’m leaning that way thanks

[@guff3163]

Been away so enjoying catching up on the vids. Great progress! My 2 cents... I think green wheels.Thanks again for sharing the journey.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thanks for voting

[@67hr74]

You're 1/2 way there ;-) 👌👌👍👍 NB: I reckon green for the wheel covers, white or linen will show dirt from the runway. Plus it would look the same as the fuz side on view.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Almost

[@johnb.1162]

Hey Scott. Terrific work as usual. The wheel covers should be the same color you choose for the cowl. That's my thoughts on the subject. Love your work!

[@scottmatthews5280]

Cowl will be aluminium natural look.

[@johnb.1162]

@@scottmatthews5280 Ahh. Well in that case you have opened all the options. Linen, red or olive drab. I'd lean towards the olive drab or red but whatever you choose, it is going to be magnificent! Can't wait for your next installment.

[@neillh]

Thanks for sharing

[@scottmatthews5280]

My pleasure

[@Love2FlyKAP]

There are many WW-1 factory pictures of the wings being mounted with the fuselage on the nose before the engine is install. Just something to think about. Green wheel covers.

[@scottmatthews5280]

A few have mentioned that thanks

[@stuartdyson1404]

take a bradawl and poke holes in your paper template about 50 - 75 mm apart around the circles, then you can mark your wing through the template with pencil or chalk or similar.

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thanks but I’ll make a compass

[@56jpg]

Hi Scott. Always look forward to your videos. Do you know how the weight of your Camel will compare to the original (minus the gun)? And is your engine more or less powerful than the original?

[@scottmatthews5280]

More power less weight I believe but time will tell thanks

[@subaruwrx3381]

Try rolling it up tightly around a cardboard tube

[@scottmatthews5280]

Good tip thanks

[@phillbarnes]

Hi Scott I think the wheel covers would look good in the same colour as the cowl, whatever that is. I'm going to guess here, poished aluminium?? Loving following this build. I'm also an ex rc modeller that loved solartex and then similar fabric to the camel with dope, cant remember the name of it though. Also built a 601xl with Jab 3300 so yes i followed the 750 cruzer. Keep up the great content mate. Phill Gympie Qld

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thanks Phil, probably SIG Koverall.

[@brettgordon-brander4591]

Where did you get the spray tent from Scott?

[@scottmatthews5280]

Just online eBay or similar 6m x 3M about $120 AUD

[@bigadd43]

White

[@rcdogmanduh4440]

Green, show less grass stains!

[@scottmatthews5280]

Good point

[@WarblesOnALot]

G'day Scott, Great, mate ! I'm lovin' it...! Busy as a one-legged person in an Arse-Kicking Contest, myself..., at the moment ; on Monday I actually went into Time-Dilation and barked..., using "The Tone Of COMMAND !" Which reached out 15 metres , to a Contractor's Sub-Contractor - resulting in him Leaping... Like a startled Kangaroo (!). And the Concrete Truck's back Wheels, spinning while trying to go forwards - uphill..., slid backwards downhill instead ; Missed connecting with the Sub-Contractor's trailing Shirt-Tail..., by 1 inch (25mm) Maybe... If I hadn't barked He'd have been very badly broken, at best. Check my Upload a few hours ago, and read the Description to unpack it all...; but suffice to say that I'm REALLY Enjoying watching you Building this Cameloid... You're doing a Superlative job, And I wish you Many delightful Hours Playing with it, Aloft ; When you eventually get it Airborne. Keep on keepin' on. Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

[@scottmatthews5280]

Thanks very much warbles
