Rear wing and last putty application

Today, I made the last, but most cosmetically important applications of putty to smooth out seams in the mating surfaces between the monocoque and the sidepods.



I also applied just a dab of putty on the underside of the sidepods, where they will mate with the gearbox. It's just been driving me nuts that it doesn't create a tight fit.



I'll also do a little touchup of the pilons that connect the front wing to the nose.



Then there is the matter of the diffuser.



I prepared the rear wing assembly for painting.



Here are a couple of test fittings.




The underside of the lower rear wing plane had a couple of mold ejection pin marks molded into it. After a test fitting, it was evident that these marks would be visible from underneath, so we'll smooth those out too.
