Subtle effects are always the best. I shall try that on my Pup.

Diego,
 
     Thank you for your kind comments.  I have to tell you that using the
1/64" drafting tape really does the the job for the rib detail on the wings.
As I said in the "Pup" build text.  Once I have removed the original rib
detail I mark the rib location on the wings utilizing the scale drawings in
the DATAFILE.  I then place the drafting tape on those marked locations and
proceed to paint over the drafting tape.  Once the paint dries I then remove
the drafting tape.  Now I have subtle rib detail from the paint build up
around the drafting tape.  If some the paint build up is too pronounced I
then lightly sand it for the desired effect.  I have attached a photo of
that process when I was building my SHORT 184.  One last thing.  If you
can't find drafting tape they do make masking tape in that size and it give
you the same results.
 
Buz (P.S. Please keep Vinnie away!) ;^)
