Ah Doug.....
She's looking great mate
Never fails to impress me how, after the main shape is knocked up, how the little touches, tweaks and detail make such a big difference.
Like the tubes and aerials, wipers etc.
Of course the designer has a perfect clean shape in his mind, no bumps, holes or panel lines. Then reality takes over
At least with a prototype aeroplane yo are as close as can be to the designers 'eye' before mods brought on by service needs, refinement and further development requirements add lumps, bumps and start to pull it out of shape.
