It depends. Is this a flying model or a static display model? For a model the size of the Fokker Koveral and multiple coats of dope is going to be pretty heavy. Koverall might even have enough shrink to crush the lightweight Guillows structure. If you really want to cover it with fabric I would suggest silk at most. The initial coat of nitrate seals the wood and to some degree acts as an adhesive. The Stix-it will adhere the covering just fine and is very compatible with dope. Nitrate dope makes a great primer and seals the weave of the fabric. Most colored dope is the butyrate type. You can put butyrate on butyrate and it goes on well over nitrate dope but you can't put much of anything over butyrate. If you are looking to fly the triplane then colored tissue or silk is a good way to get color without adding a lot of weight. I hate to be a stick in the mud and I won't say impossible but Koveral is probably both heavy and coarse for a Guillows model.
