Default Cessna Crimp on Control Surfaces

I am looking for a way to replicate the cessna crimp that is on the control surfaces on the L-19. I am working on a 1/5th scale version. Any inputs or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an easy way to replicate crimping that looks good when finished. The photo shows a Jack Stafford Models L 19. It is made from plastic "angle iron" that model railroaders use. I think it is made by Plastistrut. Most larger LHS carry it. Figure out the correct size for your plane, cut it to length, glue in place and paint.

The extruded styrene angle rod is how the crimping effect is achieved on the Topflite kit also.
