As promised here are a couple of shots of the nose unit. The gusset blocks are spruce that were carved fronm 1/4 sq stick stock. They were made a little long, glued in and then cut and sanded to match the contour of the nose block. By a stroke of luck the nose block is alligned perfectly in long and lat with the fuselage. It came out very strong with none of the wobble that I had before they were added.

More later.
