I also had to do the Flettner Srips after paint...However I found plastic
profiles half round shaped 6mm diameter and 6 mm high. Those profiles are
used to decorate picture frames and as a finishing line for wallpaper, I
think. They are available in all sorts of colors in your local hobby store
or at home decorators,You have to glue one profile on top and one on the
bottom side of the tab.
I have mine in dark blue exactly matching my trim line on the fuselage. It
really looks verry good; more like a sophisticated special feature, than as
a late add-on mod if it is in balsa and painted in white.
As the profile comes with adhesive, it took five minutes to install...I
have it now since 70 houres and it works perfectly.
