Please forgive the naivete of this question. Iam just building my first tissue-paper covered kit (rubberband powered Guillow's bf109) to practice for more expensive RCkits.

When Icover the fusilage with dope and paper, are the paper panels meant to overlap on the ribs and bulkheads? Doesn't that make the edges much thicker and heavier?

Am Imeant to sand down these overlaps?

Or is the amount of weight and extra thickness simply trivial and Ishouldn't worry about this?

Thanks a bunch.
