well I am dragging the beast back up the thread to show a little progress. I took some pics of the cowl mounted, its left over from a corsair. It looks out of place to me in the pics? For some reason it looks pretty good when I walk around the plane, but in the pictures the whiteness of the cowl makes it look much larger OBTUSE even!

filler on the hood, loose ends everywhere! this ain't your follow the instructions by the number type of build ! I am not always sure where I am going until I get there, or I might sand the last part glued back off ! Anyhow I figure some hesitant Nosen trainer fans might get their pride back out on the shirt sleeve if I keep adding info !
