Yes, the upper photos are the nose gear doors, with PE on the inner surfaces. The lower photo is the nose gear itself. The one door is compound curves, with curves on both the length and the width like a bicycle wheel fender. Trying to get that piece shaped was challenging. I do not have quite the right tools for that task.

Thanks. I’m ready to be done with this one...

Nice work!

Thanks guys! Never enough free time for me to get at the bench... and stay focused...

I know what you mean... at least about the staying focused. It's tough to stay focused when the sitting starts hurting after a while. Still, you've done a magnificent job on this; your P/E work is exceptional. Keep it coming Carlos!

I know what you mean, Duke! (Sitting excessively.) I am doing a lot of standing which may also be difficult, but it does take away some joint stiffness. As far as focus, for me, my feeling is if I don’t have focus due to distraction, I will still spend half an hour of time studying the plans, checking the part fittings against actual sprues. For me I definitely listen to an inner voice when it will say, “Not now,” when it comes to modeling activities such as cutting or sanding!

Yeah, I've heard that voice a few times too.
