I've NEVER understood why Lego didn't make nose pieces split to begin with. Then
they could make each half 2-wide, and you could insert slopes between them to make
them any width you want. Then they'd only have to worry about making 6/8/10/12 wide
windshields for the different nose halves.
If I ever make an 8-wide, it's going to be in a common color, so I can cut <shudder>
2 6-wide nose slants apart to make an 8-wide nose.
