I continued working on the forward fuselage ribs and bulkheads today to get the parts ready for priming. The final-sized holes allowed me to skip the attachment of the forward fuselage to the mid-fuselage as all of the holes that need to be match drilled after doing so are already final-sized. Another huge time saver!
Today involved a lot of countersinking and deburring…

I have a few more parts to prep for this batch and then onwards with cleaning, etching, and priming.
