For all skillful metalwork the fabricator created here, not sure why the large shelf was included under the headlight vs continuing the same raked frontal panel all the way to the corner and a much-reduced shelf in its place?
All my noses have this. And they're all enclosed with Acrylic covers, until destroyed in hail storms.
Since these areas are within a favorable pressure gradient, with the boundary-layer essentially held in place by the attacking flow, the 'buckets' become 'filled' with dead air, with the outer flow just skipping over with the Prandtl surface of continuity ( phantom nose ).
