RE: Rib stitch help
Guys,
I'm at a really tough spot here. I am almost ready to cover my GT DR1. (1\3 scale). I was going to do the rib stitching but find myself undecided. A scale judge pointed out to me that properly done, you can almost NOT even tell that there is rib stitching on a full scale aircraft, and that's standing right on top of the real thing. So I find myself asking... why go through the trouble of doing it if you should NOT be able to see it on a model? I say this after having done a 1\3 scale Pitts Special and did the stitching. You could tell it was there, but in reality, you should NOT have seen it. I admit, it looks kool, but every time I have seen rib stitching, it's WAY over done and WAY TOO BIG.(as was the case on my Pitts).
Thoughts?
