Default RE: Airplane to Composite Airplane

i did ailerons pretty simply way. base made from balsa. then i made from litho aileron leading edge panels(with round corners avoiding fabric damage like in real mk1a). then covered it with solartex. on solartex 2mm litho plate ribs with hammered stiches. and finally over every rib and panel edge, solartex stripes. nothing fancy.
i will make molds also from ailerons and all controls. i was studing in our local museum those fabric controls, indeed its very easy to over detail those. mine is not perfect but, tryed my best. in small scale spesially.
