Before 1970, covering with tissue and dope was the state of the art. When you covered a wing, you started by sanding it smooth. Then you went on to tracing, cutting, doping, drying, misting, more doping and trimming — and then you were ready to do the other other wing and the rest of the plane. MonoKote changed all that. It was the first film covering in modeling history and a huge leap forward for modelers. It quickly became modelers’ #1 favorite covering — a distinction it still enjoys today!

Smooth, glossy finishes are easy!

When you've spent many hours building your model, don't settle for less than the best when you cover. Use MonoKote.

MonoKote's superior shrink and adhesion make it the easiest plastic covering to apply. And once applied, its special adhesive gets a grip that not even years of accumulated exhaust residue can break. MonoKote is also one of the most puncture- and scratch-resistant films on the market- qualities you'll find in all of the rich, vibrant colors available. Given that it's priced comparably to coverings that offer less, it doesn't make sense to use anything other than MonoKote.
