Sureflite.com is the web page; they may or may not have them in stock.
SigKavalier (nice airplane btw), the best way to do this nowadays is either lightweight silkspan (yep, the old paper stuff) or very light fiberglass cloth put on with Polycrilic (water-thinned) polyurethane. one coat to adhere, another to fill, then color. Very light. On the nose, you might put two layers. Nylon strapping tape is good, too, on the wings.

A strip or two of carbon fiber or a 1/4 square spar -- hard balsa or spruce -- and the wing won't break-- well, it will, but let's not get silly about it.

I like fabric and paint better than film because ist's easier to patch dings and seams don't come loose.
