Installing the left F-721A fwd canopy deck - 3 hours

 Well, this part of the build has taken some time to finally get to. Riveting the F-721A forward canopy decks to the longerons. Some builders choose to get these installed early in the canopy deck fitup. I however left it to the bitter end. (I suppose I don't like things becoming permanent unless they need to be).

Riveting these on is fairly easy when working forwards then aft. The tricky part comes in as you get to the last (aft) two rivets. Accessibility becomes very tight and in order to buck these I had to use a very long, but very slim tungsten bucking bar.
