Congrats on the cricket Scott. I've just poured a glass of white and I'm remembering Christmas dinner in Cora Lynn. My brother in law lives there. It would be hilarious to get a call from him about seeing a Camel and me saying 'Oh aye - that'll be Scott.' Can't wait for that one. Here's to the future. 🥂

Cricket was great, but of a late night. I had to google map that, near pakenham and o had never heard of Cora Lynn

Incredible build so far......can't wait for the covering process!

@scottmatthews5280 10 месяцев назад

A lot of work before then but the covering process will be enjoyable.

There was a bit where you have the cockpit and firewall in the same frame it reminded me just how tiny the aircraft is. The men who flew them into combat were a helluva lot braver than most give them credit for.

For sure, great history out there.

Looking great mate. Could you slip the P clamps on after covering for the side bits? Also, my mate Paddy made the ply behind the cockpit strong enough for him to be able to sit on. It makes sliding in to the cockpit much easier. And out as well. Pretty sure he epoxied 2 layers of ply there. I could get more info on that if you like

@scottmatthews5280 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Don, yes it needs to be sat on the rear turtle deck, first layer will be covered over then a cosmetic layer. Not sure yet on the p clamps as the covering needs to wrap around the same vertical.

@@scottmatthews5280 keep at it mate. Those extra fiddly bits really are worth it and bring this kit from ok to something special
