#1 shows the final prime. Initial wash with alumiprep 33 to clean the metal. Alodyne soak after that for primer base coat. Then spray on the green stuff. A nasty, two part epoxy primer from Boeing. Respirators definitely used. You can see the nose ribs that have been riveted into the front of the skins.#2-an end view of the completed HZ stabilizer. Hundreds and hundreds of rivets later.#3- side view that gives you an idea of how big these are. Now this goes up on the wall while I begin work on the elevators that will attach to the horizontal stabilizer.
