FCP 521 - almost finished before painting

 

FCP521 - SLP-3: modified nose overhang

 First set-up wasn't satisfactory due to a too lrage nose overhang (caused by a too long long hood).

Now with a long hood about 12mm / 0.5" shortened it looks much better & closer to the prototype photos

 Additional steps on the pilot have been added - the prototypes' photos are not clear whether the steps are perpendicular to the rails or slightly inclined backwards

 

FCP 521 - further progress
