RE: removing monocote
nightstalker77, those are better methods than the one I just used the other day to strip a Golgberg Tiger 2. I just pulled off the Monokote by hand and it was a bit of work and sanding but will be well worth it.
I am going to recover with - and I highly recommend to you - Worldtex from Horizon Hobby. It is a semi-gloss, iron-on fabric. All I can say is I will never, ever use plastic film again on any other model after having used this stuff. It is that good. You can apply it to any possible compoung curve without a single wrinkle or bubble. It does great over sheeted surfaces (forget about having to use Windex!), and it goes on so smooth and even that it honestly looks like painted silk. Seams blend in to the point that they are almost invisible. Oh, and it shrinks much tighter than Monokote and stays shrunk. And, the dark blue color would look FANTASTIC on a Corsair.
I know there are people who are far more skilled with plastic film than I am, and who prefer a high gloss surface, but for the same cost you will not find an easier or more enjoyable iron-on covering to work with.
Here's a pic of my Sr. Falcon wing tip covered with Worltex. I love this stuff (almost as much as silk and dope):
