I'm sorry for not getting back to everyone who commented earlier, but I've been busy converting an older VW Van to a camper van, and the lovely summer weather and family activities kept me away from the workbench.
But now that the van is put in storage for the winter to be picked up again next April, I got back to the bench and tediously applied ribtapes on those surfaces that needed them.
I'll let the pictures to the talking, mostly
As I stated earlier in their sub-forum, a big thanks to Pheon for sending me the green trim to patch the white edges showing through! (the white you see now is decal film the needs a bit of trimming)
The small rudder cross looks more like the pictures VincentM posted earlier in his thread.
I used Wingnut Wings ribtapes sliced in half, unfortunately by the time I got the hang of cutting them pretty equal in width (and tossing quite a few in the process) I'm nearly done. They do work quite well, even on the leading edges of the wings. (though, obviously, the Fokker with it's blunt leading edge is easier than the thin Albatros wing!)
This'll have to dry a bit, then I can add the remaining tapes and do the underside of the Albatros lower wings and add a good glosscoat again.
Slowly but surely I'm going towards that point where all (hopefully!) comes together...
