Rib tapes for Berthold's plane are given as simple lozenge table, so I had to cut 'em one by one.
To do that I again stole useful tip, this time from the internet: apply masking tape onto the cutting mat in level with one thinner grid line. The width of line perchance corresponds to the width of the rib tape (
), so it's easy to face the decal down and level it to the masking tape, level the ruler to the lower edge of the grid line and cut applying some light strokes. It takes some time, but at the end you have useful batch of rib tapes
Second pic shows fuselage and tail after second (and final) coat of Light Olive - for me it's perfect!
Meanwhile I got what seems just the right shade of the Jasta 15 blau (thanx, Samuraj!
), so now all I have to do is wait for this to dry, apply gloss, apply cross, apply mat, paint... Not so much work
