NACA nose cone duct







the next job was to try to fit the NACA duct to feed cold air to the intake. this is going to be very tricky as the pannel is curved and the duct is not. so imade a template, masked the pannel, drew around the template and again cut the hole, sanded and polished leaving a nice edge. i will bond the duct in place with a decent adhesive, and will need to slightly fill the gaps where the duct doesnt quite touch the nose! the duct also needs a few coats of clear laquer to give it a shine as its a second hand item which has faded slightly!
