Green wheels.

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

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.

The DA 50 standoffs came in useful😎

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?

Try rolling it up tightly around a cardboard tube

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

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.

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

Thanks for sharing

Where did you get the spray tent from Scott?

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

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

Green, show less grass stains!

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.

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!

Brilliant white for the wheel covers media.defense.gov/2018/Sep/10/2001963906/2000/2000/0/180910-F-IO108-007.JPG

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

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

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

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 !

White

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.

Hey Scott. I am loving this build. I have no knowledge of building aircraft but I find your videos compulsve viewing!!! thanks for posting them. Im about halfway through the build and just thought Id post this before I go back in time and keep watching. Im amazed at how you work through all the problems!! It seems that frame needs you to really apply the knowledge youve built up over the years. I struggle with lego kits!!! well done. Im looking forward to catching up to the latest vids

Don’t need to apologize for anything! You’re doing a fantastic job. That’s crazy a kit manufacturer doesn’t support you. Doesn’t matter where you live. It’s a full scale plane not a RC kit. Come on manufacturer step up!!

Hi, Scott! Those large wing roundels will be impressive. To allow for the aileron control horns during covering and linen/green painting, I used two tables laid out side by side - the gap between the tables protected the horns. As you know, unless a builder plans to have the wing roundels located completely inboard of the ailerons as in earlier insignia versions, it's best to paint the wing roundels with the ailerons in place. I found this made applying the trim tape challenging over a five foot wing chord. That layout took much longer than the painting! But the results were worth it in the end. Keep cranking forward! Good luck, and I look forward to your next episode. John SE5a

Its always a pleasure watching you work. It takes me back to my days learning to fly because i worked for an FBO who also rented a plane and he would let me work on airplanes and pay me in flight time. I covered a Super Cub and found it to be so enjoyable. Thanks for helping me remember.

Fantastic, I’m waiting for the finished product with bated breath. So many late nights reading Biggles as a kid and here you are doing it. SE5a next?!

What is the name of the cable?

You’ll be flying it by Christmas at the rate you’re going…

Don't worry about the sound or the lighting. We are here to see this beautiful build, not to watch an art show. You are doing great mate!

Great attention to detail, and good clean orderly work space makes for good progress, very impressive Scott, now that you've had experience with both, aluminium and fabric which do you prefer working with? skinning with sheet aluminium? or covering with fabric, I guess each have their pro's & con's, ironing the tension into fabric looks to be almost therapeutic. Keep up the great work, Cheers from Wollongong. Glenn.

Another great video update, Scott. i personally think you have a good balance between talking & showing what you have done. Keep it up & we will keep watching your videos 😊

excellent job covering, I am sure what ever you think cable tension should be will be correct, I asked an old mechanic if I could borrow his tool to measure tension on flying wires once and he said , don't use it just tighten till they feel good. have a great week

That’s it, I realised I would never be able to replicate the moment the sound of rubbing down went through me like a fork across a plate. 😂😂

Thanks for sharing another video

Mate any anything would have flown last week

G'day Scott, Yay Team ! It's a pleasure to watch you putting this Kit together, despite the Tech. Support provided by HairyDromedary Airplanes - or whatchamaycallem... I'm nostril-deep in Lawn Locker Erection minutiae, myself, at the moment - but on the bright side ; on Monday the Shed was finally erected, in which to house the Batteries & Electronics to store Solar Current & recharge the Electric Chook-Chaser... And on Tuesday they gave me a "Red Provisional Licence" to ride... 2 years to the day after I was let out of the Cancer Institute; as Treatment completed (!). Today I clicked over the 1,600 km mark on the Bike's Oddometer, a thousand miles...; enough to go from Glen Innes to Sydney and back... This week I got the Rego. renewal, "No Inspection Required"...(!). $156 for Registration, & $96 for the CTP... Remarkable, eh - what ? (!). Such is life, Have s good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

I enjoy your channel, Scott. A thought, you have loads of real estate above your head for storing wings, etc. My Dad was a serious woodworker, his philosophy... store all stuff above you and keep the floor clear. Beautiful workmanship on your Camel. I love these ww1 aircraft, nieuport 17 is one of my faves.

Love it.cant wait for the next one.

I think you're moving along very quickly! Every video has great progress and "no" shortcuts.

That clear bench is the colour that the underside 😢😅 panels should be, to replicate the colour of untreadtelinen.😮🎉🎉

You are doing great mate enjoying the build thanks Rowdy.

Awesome! You don't disappoint on posting videos. Thanks. The EAA in the USA states 85% of homebuilt planes do not get finished by the original builder and eventually gets sold .... your the 15% that does. "Keep the Dream" mate. 👍 P.S. No inspection openings on ailerons.

Thanks for these. Enjoy seeing the process in detail. So what music are we missing out on? :)

mate it makes our day when you post another episode..... really starting to gather pace now. 👍

Thanks Scott, been following you along the way, love it can't wait to see the camel fly, Cheers from Broken Hill NSW.

Your making good progress Scott.

Your work ethic is inspirational! I love it when people put their heads down and just get it done!! Awesome!

Great. Thank you for posting.
