Turtle deck

I've seen these scallops on many models but didn't realize they were used on real planes, too.

David, did I miss something or is this Bill's garage?

:) it's a photo I found on the web to illustrate what a turtle deck is.

Thank you sir.. I guess I have unknowingly fabricated a few. Dorsal fuselage. On a turtle it is the carapace.

Like you, David, I'm surprised as well. These seem a bit exaggerated. I've read that the wing scallops on a SPAD are because the trailing edges are wire, that constrict once the fabric is coated.

That's how the Guillows Wright flyer is built.

Now... That's what I wanna do...
