Mounted right side door and secured closed. Installed a seat to get an idea of where I wanted to paint to on the lower part of the door. Used masking tape to bring the fuselage lines of red/white/blue forward across door, boot cowling and the engine cowling. Scribing a mark into the boot cowling and engine cowling so I can hopefully find my line again after priming.
