Got the Tissue from Target. Right in the gifting supplies Isle.

This stuff works pretty well. In fact it may shrink too much with water as I've found that when it dries on things like wings and large gaps and spaces like that if you use too large of a piece it can tear But as you can see the edges blend pretty good when patching tears and spaces that had to be cut out again either through bad sagging OR through my own ineptitude installing the rubber band motor.

UPDATE
Just about done my Hurricane done is this silver tissue. Gotta put the ends on the wing and cover the horizontal stabilizer then final assembly to illustrate how good this stuff is. MY covering job is mediocre but you experts aught to get 1000 times better results than me.

I know this is an old thread, but I swiped some silver paper from my wife while she was wrapping gifts recently, thinking it'd look good on a Mustang I'm building, and I was really surprised to find how well it handled and shrunk. I asked her where she got it, yep, Target. I searched and found this post and wanted to add my experience. I'll post pics when I finish assembling (I have a bad habit of working on two or three models at a time, so some take awhile to be completed).
