Gazzas Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I'm just starting my 1/32 Roden Alby D.III. Does anyone think the wing rib tapes would show under the dope in this scale? Thanks, Gaz Edited December 18, 2017 by Gazzas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 1/48? I'd say no, same with wires in the rigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradleygolding Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 In reality I would say no, but models and scale can do funny things to the eye. On a real plane the stitching underneath the tape is much more obvious than the tape itself. Steve Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/productdetail?productid=29&cat=2 WNW website has many good up close photos of the rib tape on a real Albatros DV. May help you make up your mind. Edited December 18, 2017 by ringleheim Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 You need to add them if using the lozenge patterns. The real planes were covered with the printed linen, then the tapes were added afterwards from strips of the same stuff They didn't try to pattern match the tapes to the original lozenge, so they are pretty obvious If you are doing painted camo schemes, I find the moulded kit representations to be enough, too much on some kits Richard Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
