Finishing, the long slow process

Mostly working on fairing the cockpit now. 


For me getting a good consistency of filler that doesn't tend to flow downhill has been difficult. So before doing the sides I installed the gudgeon using it and the bow eye as lift points. With a couple of vangs that I had, i could easily lift and adjust the angle.


I have also set the pintles on the rudder head.



One thing I did notice is that with unlocks on the studs it will be difficult to put the pintle pins in. I am hoping after I set the gudgeons permanently I can grind down any excess thread to help.




And here is shot of the bow eye.
