Thanks elliott for your nice compliments,
the Scratch variant with Evergreen strips, I'll initially keep in the hindquarters.
BTW, for the close-fitting stringers in the area of the two thrust panels, my friend Jörg used Evergreen strips 0.4x0.5 mm, and for the remaining area 0.4x0.75 mm.
The actual trapezoidal shape of the stringers can be safely ignored at this scale (1:144).
