Another priming session on the forward fuselage parts.

Finalised all remaining parts like the sides of the bottom skin, side skins, overlap strip on the tail cone, conduit support brackets, forward side baggage covers and longerons.

The longerons are quite difficult to handle but I found a good way to do this.
I used fishwire to hang the longerons to the supports of my paintbooth.
It's easy to shoot a layer of primer on them on all sides at same time when they are floating in the air. Only minimal touch up is needed later where the fishwire touches the longeron.

Now it's time to take the paint booth appart again and start re-assembling the fuselage body.

F749 side baggage covers.  Will need some touch up as I turned them around too quickly. Hate it when that happens.

And the conduit support brackets. As you see, I am using fishwire and labels to remember which conduit brackets belong to which position.
