Reamed with an undersized .374 reamer instead of the specified .375. Should work ok.

Chapter 25 is done
Happy to be able to squeeze the two rivets in each bearing brace.

At the last big page of chapter 25
Had a little bit of a scare, for a few moments I thought that I had worked on the wrong bulhead, that would have been an expensive mistake!
The steps shown below plus some reaming of holes is whats left of this chapter.

chapter 25 soon done
The C-frame retrofit kit, was worth it for just the last session. Link below. Without it, it would not have been possible to use the C-frame for this task.

And after the break
And after a few days of sick leave the program continues ;)
No camera today, unfortunately as I would have liked to document how I managed to backrivet the aft center section side angles to the aft center section bulkhead using the C-frame. I'll try to remember to take a picture at the start of the next session as the setup is still as set up.

2.3 hours of booring deburring and priming
2.3 hours of booring deburring and priming, chapter 25 continues with unexciting but important tasks...

25 continues, countersinking, riveting nutplates
Some countersinking and riveting nutplates. Finding parts for the next steps. I plan to prep more parts before riveting together more parts as I need to prime larger batches of parts to gain efficiency.

25 continues, first bulkhead done
Some dimpling and double flush riveting and several careful reaming of holes. I am really enjoying the fuselage kit so far.

Starting on the fuselage kit
Chapter 25 Forward mid fuse bulkheads.
Difficult to find the parts, do not understand why the first four pieces you need are located in three different sub-kits... Just removing the blue plastic, deburring and dimpling.
