My guess is that a frame is constructed to the parabolic curve used for the wing. Any slack after covering would be drawn up by a brushed bit of thinned rubber cement parallel to the ribs. I like the looks of those models... IIRC, the spar is only like 0.040" thick with boron on the top and bottom. That was the part that seemed difficult to me...
Regards.
