Techniques for doing fuselage stitching?
Many WWI A/C had stitched up fabric on the fuselage to allow access. For example, the Bristol F2B, S.E. 5a, and Eindecker to name just a few. I'd really appreciate if you pros out there could share some of you techniques for simulating this body stitching. Years ago on a small-scale Guillow's kit I simulated this by sewing the stitching into a strip of silkspan and then doping this onto the covered model. Now I'm working with (antique) Solartex on an Eindecker. All tips welcome!
Below are some shots from a full-size replica showing what I'd like to be simulating.
