t-max, I suggested the Ultracote because I found it to be easier to get good results and seems to hold a non wrinkled finish better than the Monocrap. I used to be a ''monocrap guy'' but after covering K C's plane with Ultracote I am sold on it. Use what ever you want to try so you know for yourself what works best. BTY, I also have covered a biplane with Towerkote and liked it. It went on nice, shrunk up well, and has held up without wrinkling (low price too). Color selection is limited with Towerkote however, just basic colors. Keep pluging along, your doing fine.
Ok good to know, I also found it easier to get good results and I think it's a little lighter too. Thanks it's my first kit build so I'm learning but I'm enjoying it and I plan on building another plane sometime. It gives me lots of stuff to do since I sold my ps3's to buy planes lol.
I think Ultracote is easier too. The cowl and wheel pants need paint to match the covering. LusterKote matches MonoKote colors and tower sells the spray paint. The only reason I am using MonoKote is for the easy matching colors.
I won't be using the pants because we have a grass runway but I will use the cowl of course. Ill research a little and see what people are using.
EDIT- hanger 9 sells ultracote paint.
