Wingtip Access Cover

Here's the access cover to the wing tip.
I thought it would look good to make it round.
In the case of round cover, the cover has to go on the outside or else you can't remove it.
A round cover won't fit through the hole. So I've joggled the skin so the cover will fit flush.
The cover is held in place by flat head screws. I've put a dimple as I've done on other access covers to indicate which end is front.
The dimple is made in my rivet squeezer using one of the round head rivets for the tool, and the round rivet die for the other end.
