Back to work: April 13-16 update

Fuselage kit arrived April 13.  Unpacked it on 13th/14th and inventoried contents.  Not a single thing missing -amazing given that there are hundreds and hundreds of parts (thousands if you count rivets) in this kit.

4/15:  Started prepping parts for first section.  Testing some different interior paints.  Will go with "Desert Bisque" Rustoleum multi-color texture paint on all parts below longerons and baggage area.  Probably will use a satin-finish gray on the other parts and panel.   In testing I did a satin clear coat over the textured paint - should make it a bit more durable and easier to clean.

4/16:  Continue parts prep - deburr, countersinking where required, scuffing.  Primed parts for Section 25, page 3.  Applied the paint to part of this frame that will be exposed in the interior.  Looks good!
