Title: Cheap covering film

Looking for cheap covering film? This stuff is great. As good as anything I've used,  very opaque,  5m for less cost than 2m of usual stuff and free postage. If ordering get all rolls posted individually to avoid duty. Only downside is colour variability as I ordered the yellow as shown but received cub yellow instead (not complaining as I prefer cub yellow).

I have used with success Hobby King and their film went on easily and is still on the models I applied it to.

I appreciate there is some bad press from Hobby King but so far no issues from me,
