Default Striped Covering

I just came into possession of a Super Chipmunk.
I am looking for some striped covering for it.
I know checkerboard covering is available, with lot's of choices.
Does anyone make a striped covering? Prefer red & white.

Thanks,

I have not seen any covering that comes in the red and white stripes. On the two Chipmunks I built I just used red and white strips and ironed them together them iron the made up sheet onto the wing. I used a 1/4 inch wide piece of spruce to ironing the first piece down, then just ironed on the second piece, rinse and repeat over and over and over until you have enough to cover the section.

You could cover it in white, and use the windex method with the red pieces.

Buzz.

Nice Chipmunk!
I am familiar with that product.
I have blue I use for patching my Super Sportster.
Thanks for the suggestion.
