Keeping Everthing Scale

[Ken Miller]

On Virtual Aerodrome some discussion came up about sheeting over wings and fuse and keeping everything scale. I am planning on building the Guillow's model #402 P-51 and want to try sheeting with 1/32” balsa. For the wings I would reduce the bottom by 1/16” and glue the ribs directly to the bottom sheeting. I may need to adjust the ribs but that is a different question. I would use the 1/16” spars on the top ribs and would glue the 1/32” sheeting over the ribs. Would this keep everything scale? Also, would I have problems when it comes time to sand the trailing edge?
Thanks for any help or advice.

Looks like I left a word out as it should read..."For the wings I would reduce the bottom of the rib by 1/16” and glue the ribs directly".
