A few of you may know I am preparing to do a half scale model. In a conversation with a friend the idea came up about actually stitching the fabric to the ribs instead of imitating it. Now, I think, I know the tape goes on before the stitches. So my question to you guys would be "How far apart are the stitches on average and how exactly are they tied and the knot hidden"?

Thank's
Robert
