these are pics form an earlier time that I don't think I posted. Also at one stage in the distant past I opted to make the wing as one piece . first 2 pics are of the cowl made as described earlier but now covered in very thin ali sheet which will be painted and maybe distressed a little ,visible is the lipo access hatch that will be on top. -

Oh dear another year has passed 😞 but at least I have finally put other distractions aside and am currently working on the other nacelle which is a real pig I had forgotten the formers do not work out correctly so I am modifying as I build not entirely happy with it however it will be strong enough and once sanded down hopefully will look ok. I will post a pic or 2 some time next week -
absolutely stunning work

love the detail Nick , by the way you can get really thin alli sheet that is easy to work with thinner than pop can
