Cockpit fairing

Halfway through sanding the fill-coat in the cockpit:


The (extensive) patch coat after finishing the above sanding:


In the picture above notice that most of the interior joints do not have any added fairing compound - those joints take a lot of time and work to produce - so I prefer to leave them alone once they are done, and blend any adjacent flat patches into the joints as needed.

And after more sanding:


I applied a bunch more fairing patches (the fourth "coat") on the cockpit today - the patches are getting smaller which is a good sign that I'm getting closer to done.    Everyone tired of sanding pics yet?  :)

The traveller has been laminated to the supports, here it is with its initial bog coating:


More later...
