There is quite a big radius on the leading edge of the real thing.

[chris willis]

The cowl has now been sanded back, and a thin layer of car body filler all over and sanded again, the front ring will be made this weekend along with the cheek fairings, then i can add some detail.

Panel lines , all the rivets, and the over centre catches and hinges, plus the tear drop blisters below the centre line on each side.
You are only moulding it once so may as well put it all on, dont want it to look like a big ARTF .

Working hard on it but this cowling will take some time, the wing is now re designed being 2 piece, much easier to move around, and also the wing is in primer ready for detail work family day tomorrow so no play

[chris willis]

Nearly done, both halves are at this stage, so tomorrow night start laying on some detail, here you can see the first hinge line on the plug.
