Looking good dave. couple of questions.

1. Was it not possible to install the gear on top of the nose gear rails and drill from the top side, instead of the bottom?
Thomas, It was possible, but would have been very awkward for me. And, given the choice between cutting and then replacing a portion of a structural bulkhead or drilling a couple of holes, which could later be easily filled as to never know they were there, I decided to go with the holes.

2. What did you use to fill the fuselage to vertical fin joint?
I use two products. Split Second Glazing Putty & Evercoat MetalWorks Glazing Putty. The Evercoat is a thinner consistency for finer fills. I used it on the vertical fin joint.
