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!
