Covering your model with different color tissue

Rubber motor models come with a generous sheet of tissue to cover your model with. If you building a static model for display this is ok since you’re probably going to paint it, so the weight will not be a problem. But if you going to build a flying model, either indoor or outdoor then you going to want to reduce as much weight as possible.
Using different color sheets of tissue will allow you to have a multi-color scheme on your model. I found it difficult searching for sources on the internet and most hobby stores usually carry just the Guillows white tissue. Below I have listed the sources that I could find. You could also ask your local hobby shop if they can order it for you.
Happy Building
