ultracote vs monocote
I've covered 9 airplanes since I've been in this hobby and have always used monocote my last project tower hobbies .40 uproar I decided to use ultracote from hanger nine and I don't think I will ever use monocote again , ultracote is so much easier to work with and looks great.

ultracote vs monocote
It's all in personal preference, eh? Ultracote is stretchier, and to my eye, less 'glossy' than Monokote. It's also a little heavier, I think. I liked it better myself. I also found out that the Ultrakote with the sticky backing is too touch for my use.......using that stuff made for a BAD night.....

Ditto
Although my last project was a combination of both, and that REALLY worked well. The one down side to UC (in my book) is that the edges can pull away when using a heat gun, but when the edges were being held in place by MK, they didn't move.
