[WWI] Rib Taping

That does help; I was about to put lozenge camo on some toy soldiers but
these guys clearly don't have any...

Here are some good pics of "no tapes" on elevators and ailerons of the DVII
in Knowlton. Hope this helps.............

IIRC, one of the reasons for rib taping, was to reinforce the fabric at
stress points, and the ailerons had a lot of stress on them, so I would
expect rib tapes on them, as usual thing, FWIW

I just got started on an Eduard Fokker D.VII Dual Kit and discovered that
the Aviprint decal sheet includes rib tape decals for the ailerons.  I'd
always thought that the rib tapes were excluded from the ailerons,
presumably because the chord was small enough so that rib tapes weren't
necessary.
 
Should I apply the rib tap decals to the kits' ailerons?...
