You can use normal covering like monokote etc to give it some durability. But of course, you need to nave the right tools and know how to do it I treat my foamies as expendable and get a new one every few months and just swop out the rc gear and brushless setup. If they gete marked or damaged they are easy to repair or paint. And at 90mph and 300ft you won't see any difference anyway!

i put fibre reinforced tape along the bottom of the fuselage and on the leading edge,it makes some difference but not a huge amount.
