I have a 1/16 scale Model Airways Albatros d.Va model in my stash and am thinking about starting it soon. It is intended to be an uncovered airframe model, but I am thinking about covering it.
My question is what covering material would be good to use. Its a wooden frame, not styrene or urethane. I have thought about Japanese tissue or silkspan and dope.
What other covering materials are worthy of consideration?
Also, what color would the wooden airframe have been? A natural wood, or an orange/yellow tint from varnish or lacquer?
Thanks
