I thought it was about time I turned the rear fuse up the right way for my first real impression of what it's going to look like.
Below I've started on the F-01418B-L & R main side spars which as they are thicker aluminium, took quite a bit more work to file down and remove all the burs.
The following two images show the raw edges of the F-01418B-L & R Aft Fuse Longerons. I used a coarse metal file to get the edges basically straight and removing all the jagged edges.
It's difficult to see the changes, but you can just see the diagonal lines showing the direction of filing using the finer file...
and then after using the Scotchbrite pads..
Quite a few hours went into preparing these as I still had to debur all holes, Scotchbrite both sides, etch and finally prime both longerons. More of this a little later.
I think I was trying to get the difficult rivets in that sit under the ribs on the inside.
And here are some random shots of the lower deck riveted to the F-01407 & F01408 bulkheads.
