Solarfilm - 501.07

LiteSpan Covering Film — Genuine Solarfilm Old‑New Stock (Black)

A proper old‑school covering for builders who appreciate the classics. This is authentic LiteSpan from Solarfilm, long discontinued, rarely seen, and still one of the nicest lightweight coverings ever made for small models, vintage builds, and free‑flight.

LiteSpan gives that classic doped‑tissue look without the mess. It shrinks cleanly, goes around curves without drama, and finishes with a crisp, fabric‑like texture that modern films just don’t replicate.

We have black only, stored perfectly and still in excellent condition. When it’s gone, that’s it, there is no more.

Back when Solarfilm was around, LiteSpan was adhered using Balsa Loc. Like all Solarfilms products, this is no-longer available, but we do have an alternative product that is just as good.
Cover Stick, which in our opinion is just as good. Check it out here
