Fitting the fuel tank
The leading edge/fuel tank seam isn't perfect. I ended up drilling out some rivets and installing a shim under the leading edge skin. This will help make the two pieces of metal line up so that there are no gaps. I believe this picture was before the shim. You can see the gap above and below the screw.

The tank is installed - its now starting to look like a real wing! The tank needs to be cleaned since it still has a residue of sealant on the outside.
