[WWI] Replacing ribs on wings

[Joel Christy]

Hi All,
   
  I found the IM article; it is November 2003. I scratchbuilt a Short 184 and used the scalpel technique as well as Sir Harry's wing jig. It's all there FYI. I didn't mention though that the wing blank must be scribed on both sides or it will end up lookintg like a banana!
   
  Cheers,
   
  Joel

  I was considering using the Rosemont wing blanks to replace the overly thick 
wings on a resin kit. Any recommendations about how to make the ribs? What 
about thin strips of masking tape with Mr. Surfacer sprayed over them to 
blend it in?

I suppose I could resort to the old biro pen and score them on from the 
underside - anyone tried that?
