Ha Ha looks can be deceiving  I do a lot of pattern making but this is the first full body I have done. Credit where credits due you are doing some
very nice work yourself there Fred.
Made a bit more progress today. Got the Naca Ducts set into the rear of the Bonnet and mocked up the combined Scuttle,Dash and Aero Screen. Or have I
accidentally made a very big push up bra ?

Aren't NACA ducts meant to be used the other way round - as inlets?
quote:
A NACA duct,[1] also sometimes called a NACA scoop or NACA inlet, is a common form of low-drag air inlet design,
originally developed by the U.S. National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), the precursor to NASA, in 1945.
When properly implemented, a NACA duct allows air to flow into an internal duct, often for cooling purposes,
with a minimal disturbance to the flow. The design was originally called a "submerged inlet",
since it consists of a shallow ramp with curved walls recessed into the exposed surface of a streamlined body,
such as an aircraft. It is especially favoured in racing car design.

Yes, but they also work as low pressure outlets as in this application.

Yes, but I think a parallel sided outlet would clear more air and look better.

Perhaps. But the whole bonnet area has been run through CFD Software and the inlet and outlet profiles and sizes work well together. As far as looks
are concerned once blended in I think Naca Ducts look pretty good

finger out and make some progress

Looking good, always nice seeing someone trying to do their own thing :-)
Look forward to progress and seeing the final full size design.
Andy
