Hey guys, after more than one attempt I finally got a perfect trim tab built, mostly .. very last step .. while back riveting the trailing edge you have to make sure you take into account the bend in the trailing edge piece or the rivets won't seat. In an attempt to fix it, I got a row of about 10 small "smileys" on the top skin (they stayed hidden until I pulled the masking and rivet tape off) so I'm going to build it again.
At any rate, it's a near perfect trim tab build (sans small portion of the trailing edge that needs attention) if anyone wants it on the cheap to save the hassle/time to build it .. at least once

I'm sure somebody has a clever way to fill this in finishing/paint.
