22 iS Fuselage question
Page 22iS/U-05, Step 1
I want to understand exactly where to scuff. 1) Is it only where tank sealant is called for in Steps 4 & 5? Or will there be sealant applied to the remainder of the firewall edges in another section?
2) Also, since I?ve painted F-01272-1 and F-01217-L & R, should I assume I?ll need to remove the paint where they mate to the firewall so that tank sealant adheres? I?m not painting the firewall.
3) Is the sealant there just to protect against heat, fumes, fire, moisture etc? I don?t think it was called for in the old fuselage kit. Thanks Rob
