Greenknight,
I think the Fokker T-2 is a great place to start to get some inkling as to what was done originally. Naturally the varnish has darkened the wood some, although, as you mention, I don't know if the wing was restored since acquisition by the Smithsonian. I would think it's something to go on, though.

Glenn:
Outstanding model, I first thought it was that great replica down at Ft. Rucker in Alabama, until I saw the stripes on the stab! Then the cat was out of the bag...
Do we know what Jasta that one is from?
