Fuselage Center Section #3

 Continuing to work on the fuselage main center section.  Kinda slow getting back in the rhythm of building. 

Decided to countersink and fill the extra holes that the factory mistakenly drilled in the center section channel.

Now I don't have to look at the empty holes and don't have to worry about anyone in the future asking why they were left open.

Separated these corner strips that get riveted to the forward bulkhead corners.

The wheel makes quick work of cleaning up the left over flashing.

Have to dimple these three holes only on one end of the parts.  Look at the drawings to make sure which three get dimpled!

Next came separating these skin brace angles.

Cleanup...


I am trying to build a batch of parts for a priming session.  Will just keep these cleco'ed in place for now till I have more parts to prime, then I will come back and rivet them.  The pre-assembled main center section is built from clear anodized parts so it won't get primed.
