The muffler tunnel was painted, as it was the firewall; of course the aluminum tubes where masked out. I forgot to note that the landing gear support area was reinforced using 45 min epoxy and fiberglass cloth.
I found that a simple and really effective method for preparing the epoxy mixture is to use standard syringes to measure the volume of the components. You can also mix the components into the syringe tube if the amount prepared is relatively small. I note this because this is the most stupid proof method to fill the hinge slots out of epoxy (you know why I call it stupid-proof! ). Quick and easy!!!
I've covered the top side of the fuse and painted the cabin floor of black. No pics for this yet, nor of the cowl, as it is wet right now .
