Some people still build the kits and cover them with silkspan, tissue, silk, or Dacron using the Nitrate or butyrate dope paints. You can get all this stuff from Sig Manufacturing Co. in IA just like back 50 years ago...

Anymore some people use Tyvec and water base clear Polycrylic paint or even the Elmer's type glues thinned down with water as paint.

Most people use a heat shrink vinyl covering know as Ultracoat or Monkote.

Some cover them with light weight fiber glass cloth (3/4 oz / yd) and epoxy.

Latex house paint works pretty good on the gasoline engine models
We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
Be all that you can be . . .
