Tag Archives: entrance fairing

26/9/2019

Fitted the fairing that abuts the entrance and joins the body to the nearside front wing.  Mostly straightforward, it still needs a couple of screws to fasten it to the canopy.   Next, I completed the preliminary welding of the window frame today and fitted the mud protector to the bottom of the front bulkhead behind the nearside front wing.  This is still in primer so needs a coat of silver hammerite to finish it off.

Stripped the paint from both sides of the fairing ready for priming The steel support bracket from the bulkhead to the fairing was also stripped and painted and just needs a topcoat in DG red before fitting.  Next I primed the inside face of the entrance/wing fairing.  When that was dry, I undercoated  it. Final job was to apply a  second coat of topcoat on front bulkhead.
