Some more progress made on the tanks, this time fabricating and match-drilling tank stiffeners.

After that, fabricating the T-405 tank attach brackets was next. This was a lot of work, and the plans aren’t much help. A full-scale layout would have made this job a lot easier. There’s also a bit of guesswork to make sure the brackets fit into the tank leading edge with some room to spare for rivets. But they’re done, and I think they look good.

There will be no updates for awhile, probably until mid-November. I’m off to Africa again, this time for work.
