ok, where was i? oh yeah, finishing up the centerline cover and gun blisters. with a full month of curing the epoxy flow coat sanded easily with 80 and 120 grit. after that the outline was remarked from the original outline laid down on the wing, the blister popped off and sanded to the mark.

pic 2: after trimming, the foam was removed by first roughing it out with a rotary bur in the drill press and then the residual was soaked in lacquer thinner for about 15 minutes and wiped out with a paper towel and washed. two "clean" blisters.

pic 3: before gluing i first cut out the shell ejection chute. to be really accurate i should have lined this opening with small plastic sides but elected to forego that. i may go back and do it anyway if it bugs me enough (which it's starting to already ) the blisters are then glued in place by applying a small bead of 30 minute epoxy to the inside of the lip and taped into place.

pic 4: and the centerline "blister" done as well. sorry, i didn't get a chance to primer these. that'll have to wait until tomorrow.
