You can also buy it direct from the manufacturer. Here's a link

When in doubt just build it. Mark http://www.ipmslivonia.org/ipms/

I rub out the wrinkles in the BMF with a clean cotton t-shirt stretched over my finger. I do this before I trim with the xacto knife. It works rel well for me. It really gets the chrome trim looking smooth.

Well you measure the size of the area to be covered,cut out a piece apply it to the model.burnish it down and then trim it for exact fit! All you really need is a new #11 blade in yout Exacto knife and a good pair of tweezers!You can use it for Aircraft too but it takes longer!
