Mark,

I built the GP Spitfire and I used all monokote. I first covered the wings completely in the base color. Next I cut out the camo pattern and laid it out how I wanted it to go. Then I drew a line around the patterns and took a straight pen to poke holes through the base color. This allows the air to escape when the camo patterns are ironed down. This method worked great with little to no bubbling. I did the same thing on the fuse except for the sheeted areas where I did not have to double up the monokote. I have also heard of a method using windex but I have never tried it.

I am not sure what scale this plane is as far as pilot size goes. Maybe someone else can help you there. Email me if you have any questions. Good luck.
