Here is the nose framing. It will support the inner air duct and external skins

first blood. Somehow, I pricked my finger with the knife and bled on the fuselage without realizing it.
This was my first screw up.
I continued to build the nose. However, things went wrong and I never got a smooth transition with the skins. I did not take a picture of the bad outcome.
In my opinion, the frame for the nose was probably a bit larger or not properly located and the skins just got too tight around making it look bad. I should have reduced the framing size by sanding it.
This was the second screw up
anyhow, I had to cut that nose assembly off.
In hindsight, I should have stopped here and throw the project in the trash.
