I recently covered my first kit. I tried the monokote first. It was craptastic at best. So I enlisted some help and the first thing I was told to do was order some ultra.

If you have not done a lot of covering I would go with the ultra, once mono was heated in my experience, the wrinkles were there forever.

The mono had much better colors, and seemed like it was stronger once heated I do not really know. However the colors were brighter, and where I had it on smooth it had more shine then ultra.

The ultra however was much much more forgiving for me. It shrinks a lot of your mistakes right out, and bubbles heated and popped with a straight pin were invisible a second later.

Just my opinion.

The yellow Tiger 2 is the ultra covered plane, the trim is just soapy water decals.
