Fuselage center section #40 - fuse bottom corner skin install

 Riveted the fuse bottom corner skins tonight.  Many short sections on each side to make all the compound curves.

The aft ones get these nutplates.  

Right side done.


Left side done.  Pay attention to the holes that get left open.  To be honest these were the most challenging holes to get to line up yet for the entire build so far.  Took my time to ensure that the skins were aligned, the tabs were pulled up tight and that there were no pillows or gaps between the skins at the joints.  This took some time!
