They use colored packing tape for their planes, which are pink foam fuses and main wings with coro tail feathers. If you browse to the kits there are online instructions with tons of pictures of each step, may help out a lot if you've never done foam before. I've built a few of their planes, the T52 and the eplane. On the wing for the T52 I used sign vinyl, it looked better than the tape but ended up peeling off in a lot of areas after only a few flights and I replaced it with tape. It may have been the cheap sign vinyl I used, it was the low grade stuff and kind of old.
