Star-strutter of Hansa Brandenburg D.I

[MG]

Good morning. The star-shaped struts of the wings of the HANSA BRANDENBURG D.I were made of steel tubes (always or only in some series, the first ones?). Why are they always shown as if they were made of wood in the color drawings and models? Is it possible that the steel star-shaped struts were painted? In the photos of the time they appear very clear.
