The starboard side is in place:

Simply amazing work, Richard! That cowling is just perfect and the side pieces are the cat's whiskers! Quite divine... and I'm sure, unique! Regards, Marc.

This one is really taking shape now. The tacked in place wings give an indication of how it will look and it is Awesome!

You don't hang about Richard, this is coming together beautifully and quite a tempo. No flailing around in the darkness here! :)
