Message: Nose Cover Done Ron Stearns sent some picture of the nose cover he took and I made them into a decal. It took major distorting of the image to get it to fit, but it's as close to perfect as I can get it. Surprisingly, the snaps on the decal line-up perfectly with the snaps on the model. Here are two pictures of how it turned out looking. Since that part of the nose was a major compound curve, it took a lot of MicroSol to get the decal to set down on the nose without having wrinkles. The next step will be to put in the blue plexiglass windows and decide if I want to open the hood around the blower.
