I decided to wrestle the left fuel tank together tonight.  What a pain in the ass this was.  The tank skin is fairly heavy and the ribs do not fit all that well when compared against the other parts in the kit.  The pre-punched holes combined with the relatively poor alignment of the ribs makes it difficult to cleco the tank together.  I had to tweak a number of the ribs a couple of times in order to get a half decent fit.  A little over two hours and a couple of well placed cuss words, and the left fuel tank was clecoed together.

Once clecoed together, I had to put it on the wing.  I still need to do some drilling of the z-brackets to the spar, but I couldn't resist setting it on the wing and admiring how far along I am (yeah right...  I am friggin' a long ways from done).  However, I am starting to have some big parts coming together and they actually look like parts to an airplane.  No more tripping over small parts and wing crates.  All the remaining parts sit on a couple of shelves and a table.

Just a rough placement on the wing shows me that I should be able to get a very good fit between the leading edge and the fuel tank.

Just a picture of the top side of the wing with the tank setting on the spar.  When clecoing the tank together, I ran out of clecoes (you can never have enough clecoes) so I had to scavenge some clecoes the wing skins at strategic locations.  Looking at the picture, I wonder why I ran out of clecoes???  Cripes, there is a lot of clecoes holding the wing structure together at this point.

I am also getting a good fit here on the top side of the wing.
