Thanks.

I added in a bit more stuff. Most of this wil be covered up by the panels but it's good to get that detail in there. Here's the other progress pictures and updates as of tonight.

Internal wing framing and piping and whatnot added to the inside. The edges have putty added to level up the damaged plating to the original surface. The goal is to make it look seamless to the original skin.
The internal framing is lined up with the panel lines so it is looking as functional as possible.


Plating being added in. After cutting the jagged edge I held the pieces just above a soldering iron to soften it up and then bent up the edges.


Plating added in.


First pass on the putty and sanding to blend the plating into the original surface. Also added a few more details to the inside. The white plates on top (plus the original plate in the front with the angled corner) will be the "repair work" done to patch up the damage.



I need to go over the joints until they're as smooth as possible and then rescibe the panel lines. I located the edges of most of the new panels on the panel lines so most joints will be hidden by the scribing.


I'm not sure I'm going to add the large piece with the holes in it. Seem out of place and I think the flat panels look more like repair panels.


I'm just making this up as I go so feedback is welcome !!!
