The plastic they use on model airplane wings etc, is mono kote. I used it a few times to build some planes, red baron plane, and a piper cub |

they sell irons intended for applying this stuff to surfaces. i've covered a few planes, and I don't know if you could do it without one of those irons. it could definitely be hit with the heat gun, but you need to apply a little pressure to get it to stick. you might be able to sorta finesse it on with a heat gun and a rag. u need to sorta rub it on somehow, and fingers are a little sticky for that. unless you got a tube of it, that i think i remember seeing somewhere.... then u might be able to shrink it on. But if it's a monokote tube, its not gonna shrink like shrink tubing... its a little less extreme. hope this is helpful?
