Do you have a photo of the vertical stabilizer with clearly visible rivets?
They somehow secured the sheets of metal to the frame.
Do you have any other photos like this? I'm currently working on the rivets on the fuselage. The vertical row is almost finished, but there will most likely be problems with the horizontal one.
How many frame ribs were there in the horizontal tail?What is the problem?
Here's what else is interesting. About the rivets. Were there partitions between possible ribs, for example, on the fuselage that you showed me, or not?В чем проблема?
So how many rows of frame were there in the horizontal tail unit? (Tail)Yes. The skin of the fuselage was riveted both the longerons and bulkheads. But it depended on the fuselage section. For instance at the cockpit area there wasn't too many of the horizontal lines because there wasn't too many of the stringers at the area. So there were the vertical rivet lines mostly. Also please notice that the main bearing element of the fuselage was its floor that was running from the cockpit to almost the last rear section. The entire rest of the fuselage I mean the sidea and the top ( ceiling ) was just a kind of superstructure only.

Here .. the red - ribs, the green - the longerons. The rivet lines along these lines. At the ribs with the elevator hinges there were two lines and also the two others along the main stringers. These areas were strengthened.

Are there any photographs of the horizontal stabilizer frame? horizontal stabilizer ribsThe entire leading edge was of the matal skin. The part had its own stringer screwed/riveted to the front stringer of the main part of the stabilizer. Also there were ribs and two longerons . One from top and the second one at the bottom. The black part is a rubber soaked fabric protection of the leading edge against icing. It was wrapped along its endings on a metal strip that was scrwed to the surface along the longerons.

I seem to have drawn the outlines of the location of the joints and frame from the pictures, but I don't understand how the sheets of metal were attached.The entire leading edge was of the matal skin.

How many partitions were there between the frames on the belly of the fuselage?These weren't attached in one vertical row but as horizontal strips ... you need to rotate the pic .. can you see?

You have posted a pic of the bottom section from the bulkhead no.1 to 5. Here the section 5-6 and 6-8.
