- I have never seen this material available for sale. And not owning
- any ARF's of this type I cannot speak for this material. I personally
- feel that with proper surface preparation any covering material will make for
- an outstanding model. Each one requires, perhaps, a different amount of surface
- preparation effort. I am also suspicious that this material you
- seek will look poor if the surface is inadequately prep'd.

- I have recently covered a Flair Magnatillia with 21st Century Fabric
- from the Coverite folks. I am really sold on this stuff! It goes on
- GREAT! Compound curves, IMHO, are easier then with Monokote. It
- has a beautiful finish. This will be my covering of choice for all my
- non-WWI scale birds. Another plus is the 21st Century Paint. This
- is the easiest paint I have ever used! Goes on smooth and easy and
- matches the fabric (and the film I suspect) very well. I would
- recommend these products to anyone.
