Hi Dan-San:

Quote:
Look at photo #6 enlargement, the color of the dark line on the leading in some places along the leading edge exactly matches the dark streak on the leading edge and matches the leading edge stacking pad.
Yes, I do agree with that, the stacking pad matching the line is a good one and the green paint would be a logical choice.


If no one has anything to add to this them we can go on to the wing tape.

I would like to start off by showing a photo of FI 101/17 w/n 1697 that clearly shows the wing tape before the plane was painted.



If this was on 101/17 then it was also on 102/17 and 103/17. The V5's are the next examples.
