This morning I installed the blind nuts for the gun mounts into the fuselage. The rears were a no-brainer as they were in plain view. The upper front was buried under a former and caused a few tense moments (Somewhat rage inducing). The front rear was totally obscured by a former until I made a small access hole.

Once the blind nuts were in a did a little rough shaping of the lower mount. I used the included photo as a reference and believe I got pretty close. I may need to add a little more angle to the rear edge to closer match the photo but so far so good.

I think the next item is the windshield, then double check everything and commit to covering.
