Default world models covering

All World Models are covered with Ultracote.
The only exception is the Super Stunts 40 Which uses a covering called Skycote (I think thats the name).
Anyway, that covering is available for $5.00 a roll.

When I banged my 120 size extra up I used monokote yes monokote, missle red. It matches just fine. I don't think the 120 size extra is covered with ultracote. The others may be, but my extra matched perfectly with the missle red monokote. I also used white, and I think dark blue monokote and they both matched perfectly. I hope this helps. They sure are a great flying plane!

Is Skycote a low-temp covering?

Anyway, according to Airborne-Models.com, WMs are covered in either Ultracote or Monocote. I've only seen Skycote mentioned for Super Stunts 40.

According to WM, if the plane is stamped w/ serial no's, then it's UltraCote.

My Red one IS monokote! And I have a 120 size world modles extra. So the plane is the same other than the color. I am betting its monokote yellow.

Default Yellow

Ultracote comes in three different shades of yellow. You may want to check the other shades before you move to the Monocote. From the WM planes I have, they all seem to be covered in Ultracoat (or Oracover as it is sometimes called). There really is quite a difference in the way the two look and apply.

Default WM Covering

WM aircraft are covered with Oracover--Oracover=Ultracote. 433rd is correct--check the other shades they offer.
