Nice work!  Ahh, Monokote.  Iron-on skin.  THAT takes me back.

Yes I have heard that amazing results can be achieved with card stock.There are companies that produce printed card stock models that are quite realistic.

I have several times used glossy card stock to cover a Guillows model of a metal airframe subject. It eliminates the faceting of covering it with tissue, silk or plastic film.  I use gloss card stock to make it quicker and easier to prime and paint.  You can even emboss rivets into the stock before gluing it in place, with a ball point pen.
