Time to paint the final piece; the forward top skin. I used some glazing compound around the rivets and dents made by the rivet gun. Then I noticed the fit between the fwd skin and canopy had a 1/8" gap on the pilot side. I read about this and others have had it. Some say wind will blow in there. Some thought i was a problem for blowing off. I doubt that. After a few days of consideration I decided to use putty to fix it. I use Rage Gold. I built up some Rage and used the canopy skin as the mold for the putty knifes. I think I got it pretty flush on the pilot side.
