Walther, I have built three of the Miss Vintage designs from RCM magazine over the past 35 years or so. Sold two and still have one, all three covered with silk. All three with red silk, the last one I had to dye the silk I had with Rit dye, and it worked out well. Looks good up in the air with the sun shining through all that pretty wood structure! Nice flying little airplane. Good luck!
