Parts of the inside of the fairing must be finished because you can see them when the canopy is opened.

Here filler is applied and then sanded smooth.

The parts that can bee seen are painted the interior color.  The rest is painted black.

Before the fairing is glued into place, the canopy under the fairing is painted black so the fiberglass is not visible from the inside.

Here the canopy is painted black where the fairing will attach.

The fairing has been attached with fuel tank sealant and left alone for over two days.

Here's a shot of the inside.  Looks perfect.

The canopy installation is complete.  Whew.  That was a tough one.  There was about three weeks of very detailed work that was done in a very specific order so that the proper look was achieved.

The tail fairing is trimmed and put together.

It is then trial fit to the airframe.

I fill the pin holes in the fiberglass with joint compound.  This is an old painter's trick.

Finish product installed.

Tail feathers added and trimmed out.

Next step is to do the final install of the rear window.  That work can be found on the next page.
