First I matchdrilled the left rudder skin today. After that I spend some time removing the protective film from the skins, completely on the inside, and in strips where the skins gets riveted. The rest I leave on for protection, until the parts get painted. I use a soldering iron for cutting the film. That way I dont scratch the skin.

After that I clecoed the stiffeners back onto the skins, then clecoed the skins onto the spar and ribs.


With both skins installed, I matchdrilled the rest. I am amazed how well everything matches together. This really is an awesome kit!! 😀
Finally I took everything apart, then started deburring it all.

Cool project buddy…
All the best!!!
