I've stripped a "test" model wing of its previous finish, and rather than try the acrylics over simple "wood" color paint, I'd like to attempt to accurately replicate the look of the "bare" wing first.

1. What was the approximate width of the ply panels/ how many were there?

2. Was the center-section covered first and then outwards to the tips, or was the start point one or the other of the tips?

3. Were there top/bottom panels (leading edge joint) or was a single panel wrapped completely around the wing (no LE joint)?

4. What was the direction of the wood grain (spanwise or chordwise)?

Appreciate any assistance, Rob
