  Hi Stephen,
   
  I guess "ballooning" is a relatively new thing to plastic modeling, so it may be seldom seen in plastic kits. I´ve seen this effect in Roden´s kits.
  Regarding stick and tissue flying models, the "old" modelers suggested sticking tissue to each undercambered rib using blasa cement instead of dope because if tissue becomes detached, it will run flat modifying the airfoil.
