Hi all,
The Nieuport 28, like some other French built aircraft, had wood strip infills between the four pairs of flying wires.
These infills were held in place between the wires by straps that wrapped around the wires and infills.
To represent these wood infills I cut thin strips of 0.2 mm plastic card.
These were covered with ‘Aviattic’ Wood Grain (ATT32235) decal, which was conformed around the plastic strips with 'Tamiya' X20A thinners.
I cut a five lengths of ‘Bare-Metal’ Matte Aluminium foil of 0.5 mm width
These were secured to the infill strip using thin CA adhesive (adhesive on foil backing didn't hold well).
The infill strip was laid onto and between the flying wires and the foil strips pushed around the infill to hold it in position.
Finally thin CA adhesive was 'flowed' along the flying wires to secure them against the infill strip.

Mike
