I hate Rib Tapes
Permalink   


Just finished the rib tapes on the upper wing for my Pfalz DIII. I think I'm blind now.


Next up is the fuselage striping from Jasta 30 oh joy.

I think what you are saying about your plane is all Pfalz.  None of it is true.


You kind of sound like me when I am doing that Pit Fiend.  After taking off the Soda Bottle Bottom glasses, I walk into a wall.

Rib tape? What is that?

Rib tapes are thin (very thin) strips of decals that ar placed over the ribs of the wings to simulate the stitched seams of the cloth wing covering. Better decal sets for WWI planes include them otherwise you have to buy extra wing decals and cut your own.


Luckily this set in the Eduard Profipack came with them (decals are made by Cartograph). Of course the "barber pole" decals on the fuselage are also separate strips that have to be lined up.


What fun!

Thanks for explaining,Doc. Decals make a model look better, but a pain sometimes to put on.
