I see what you are saying and while fear the notch in my cone may appear a little too crisp, it is ever so slightly off-centered... a carry over from the MB. I will still be reworking the nose. While I believe the notch is now the correct width it looks too small because I think the MB cone is still a little too fat.
However, that photograph is of a Pyro fuselage... and those DID have their cones molded in place with the rest of the fuselage. Unless, the recently auctioned pyro master pattern does not represent this specific model. Though, I think I am detecting the seam on the nose itself down the center. This split could cause more asymmetry than what was found on the original nose as it is one more step removed from the original nose part.
Yikes, I thought I was farther along.
