Product Details
Description
Self adhesive Pinking Tape
The covering on full size aircraft is not only glued on with
dope, but is sewn to ribs and stringers to achieve a stronger covering. The
distance between the knots is variable. In high stress areas such as in the
propeller wash, the knots are more closely spaced. For protection all edges and
sewing are covered with pinking tape.
To improve the realistic effect of a scale, or semi scale model, the sewing is
a deciding factor. It is a pity that a well built model is so often all too
shiny and smooth, this is very boring especially on large antique models, which
then do not appear to be very scale.
Our Pinking Tape is made from a highly flexible, non shrinking white self
adhesive film. This tape is applied before painting the model. For those who
wish to go further, the knots can be simulated with PVA glue and a hypodermic
needle.
On the full size Piper Cub the Pinking Tape was 50 mm wide over the ribs, and
double so wide around the wing tips and tailplane edges, the saw teeth are
approximately 2 mm high. The experts use the Pinking Tape #2237 with the 0,5 mm
saw teeth. The fine toothed pattern is difficult to see on the model. On the
full size it is no different. If one stands at the wing tip then the saw teeth
on the fuselage are not visible to the naked eye. For he who would like more
readily visible saw teeth can use the Pinking Tape #2223.
