 It s m’y second layer. You can see it on the first picture, but it is only partly sanded and far from being finished

 At first glance, it's not obvious which panels are the doors. Brass nails make good door knobs!

Your planking looks good to me, despite your 'difficulties'.

 Good idea for the doors... but it will be fragile, so i’ll do that at the end

 Although I kit-bashed my Mamoli Rattlesnake and ended up making my bulkhead, I too used nail heads for door handles. You can see how I did it on starting at Page 9, June 02 2013 post

 As I remember, you scratch built this part in wood. Much easier to put nail in wood than in metal

 I hadn't realised your doors were metal!
If it's the usual soft alloy, it'll drill with no problems but you'll need the right size drill.

 Yes, bending castings isn't recommended!
