RE: Koverall creases?
In terms of hiding the CF rod, I think just the one more later of natural (white) solartex will do, if I can get it to stick down properly. I'm sure I'll find a solution, but it's always a challenge working with new materials. I needed the Koverall to solve the problem with the wire TE, so now I have to deal with the challenges of working with Koverall vs. Solartex. I do really like the look of the Koverall. But it's also quite easy to get small "runs" in the material.
Note that the tail feathers also have the CF and I've wondered about how those looked on the original. The fact is that those would have been steel tubing probably primed with grey or green. And that color would also have shown through.
