Evenin all,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting guys,

I managed 10 hours at the bench over the weekend (busy wife) and did quite a lot of work on the final body shape

Still trying to figure out the rear wing and the front wing, but i think i know what to do with the front

The nose itself area is still a WIP.......

Sand, fill, sand, fill...............

Started on the area behind the cockpit and the blend into the impact structure which is at the back

I had installed two rods extending from the outer cockpit walls to the center at the back, they had a nice flowing curve to them these were for suppport

I bent over the 1mm (0.039")  sheet  and glued it to the central profile support and the cockpit curve and the back central area

After some shaping

Forced, with a heat gun, two pieces of 1mm just to fill the large gap

Then i skinned the inner contour with 0.5mm(0.020") sheet, letting it just flow into the area and covering a large slit in the front intake area
