Need Help with covering.

[jazzviper1]

I am looking for an iron on covering that I can apply directly to foam. I have an old Sig Colt kit that needs the wing covered.

Hello @jazzviper1 , welcome in. I would just run a search in your browser or even amazon. Lots of coverings come up.

I have tried that, none of them register as low temp or foam safe. Last I checked monokote is too high temp for direct foam application.

i havent seen a heat on sheet .i always use fiber glass or glue n crap paper

They used to have econokote which was a light weight low temp covering, surely there must be something similar out there. Fiberglass and paint would be too heavy this is only a .15 sized plane.

Awe gotcha, she is a foamy. I would think some kind of mellow filler and then airbrush it.

Sorry it is not a foamy. It is a very old kit it has a foam wing only and it must be covered.

Only problem is it's out of stock in the US and shipping from the UK is $40.
