Default Fin and stabilizer assembly

With the elevators done I assembled them to the fin, and then attached it to the rear section of the fuselage to check overall fit. Everything is really tight and also screwed in the hardware to ensure hole alignment. I swapped out the black socket head screws for SS ones to match or blend in with the other hardware. Added some graphic details to the fin and fuse. Had some parts laying around and quickly mocked up the “Remove Before Flight” assembly block that I’ve seen on the real jet. I plan to do a few more of these little details as I go. Here are some photos from today:
