Default Covering question...

Hi all,
I just finished a very small model that i have decided not to fly. It was my first so i'm pretty excited.

Now i need to cover it. It came with some tissue paper but the instructions aren't very clear on how to use it, and i'm sure there is a better thing to cover it with. I kinda want to use something other than tissue paper. I'd rather make it Yellow, but i know monokote is not the way to go with this small model...or is it ok since i'm not going to fly it?

I haven't used monokote before or any type of covering. does anyone have any tips or advice on some easy covering supplies or methods i could buy rather than useing tissue paper? the instructiosn mention "dope" and mixing it with something else but i have no clue what this is...

Lastly, is the covering stage supposed to be the easy part of kit building or is it a whole separate project?

Any and all help is appreciated!

Thank you,
Mike Fas
