Nose
This is the almost complete nose. The piece of pushrod tubing sticking out is opposite the needle valve. Scoop in side was added when the head wouldn't clear the side, and I didn't want to rework the thing. Turned out for the better, I think it's neat. The outlet for the pipe is visible through the wing opening, as is the location of the wheel wells. Sort of like those area rule fuses on the century series of fighters (coke bottle waist of the f-105, etc.) The bottom is kind of dull. I sanded it out with 1000 grit, before I add the trim lines and clearcoat it. I hope to have it done within the next 2 weeks.
