I don't have any better pictures; the one above is cropped from a larger view. I'd agree the short ribs do not appear to have stitching. I do have some shots of another Fleet with white wings, but the detail on those pictures is not as good as what I posted. The white wings do show the stitching to be pretty prominent just as the red wings. It is just barely possible to see the tapes on the white wings in my original photos.

My Concept Fleet has been sitting framed up for quite some time. I thought I would get back on it this winter, but it hasn't happened yet.
