Wings, Outboard Leading Edge (Part 15)

Today, I primed all 10 pieces mentioned in my previous post.  Below, are the two Splice Strips with the 19 nutplates clecoed into place to each one.

Here is the Access Hatch (right) and Access Hatch Doubler (left).  The Access Hatch Doubler also has the 10 required nutplates clecoed in place.

Lastly, the plans suggest to paint the Wing bay that will house the landing light on each Wing.  Below are six of these pieces.  On the left, are the Mounting Brackets (landing lights will eventually be mounted to them.....one for each Wing).  On the right, are the four Backing Plates that will hold the Landing Light Lenses to the inside of the Wing.  I initially primed the six pieces with Akzo Epoxy Primer and then used a flat black spray paint for the black color.  There are still a couple more pieces associated with this Wing bay that will need to be painted flat black, to include the corresponding section of the Outboard Leading Edge Skins.
