Scuttle, part two

 I was being optimistic if I thought I'd finish the scuttle in just a few hours! Have just locked up and it isn't finished yet. But I am very pleased with the progress, nonetheless. I have made a nose section for it, which will blend the tank into the scuttle.

Note the flat section between tank and scuttle, here.








Next time I will finish stretching the front, then trim, drill and rivet that transition section.
