Well I tried OK, but I had to give up on both the PE rib tape as well as the HGW ones.
It would have taken forever to complete the many wings in this way.
So I resorted to my own 'homebrew' rib tapes. Actually it is not that far off, it's masking tape.
All the wings ready for painting...
Tails too..
The bottom side of the wings were masked to add the ribs and shadows.
White area for the markings.
Tails..
The top of the wings had the same recipe for the streaking as for the fuselages.
The upper wings. The Richthofen wing had the streaking done before covering it with red paint.
For my interpretation of Richthofen's Fokker triplane I wanted to tone down the 'red' as much as possible.
I do not want a 'stark' red color but a weathered and well used triplane.
The triple tails. I finally decided for the red stripes, it might as have been black stripes, no one really knows?
