I'm starting to get quite a collection of white painted parts! I have two elevators, two stabs, two flaps, two ailerons, two close out ribs, two door frames, a trim tab, and a lower instrument panel. Oh, and a baggage door (although I only painted the inside of it for now.)
With most of the small pieces done, that means it's time for the fuselage. I moved the fuse into the paint booth today. It's going to be a tough job to mask off the interior.
Before I can prime the fuselage, I need to glue on these rudder cable exits and also the ring for the elevator pushrod exit. In this picture, you can see that I cut the two rudder cable exits out and on one of them, I cut the opening for the cable.

These just get glued to the fabric and then a patch is glued around them.
