I found a fellow discussing a inexpensive film covering for his balsa models. He also uses it as a base layer to put 'aged' tissue over.
Essentially it is a refill role for machines that do laminating of documents/posters. It is translucent until heated. Has adhesive for attachment via iron and will shrink if hit with a heat gun. Seems to come in two thickness ranges. He got ~100m x 300mm roll for 20 quid. Video on how to use laminating film on a wing:

The scale of the wing half show up via the empty printer spool in the lower left corner!
So if enough folk asked I wonder if they would re-design the bobber wing structure to use a mix of PLA and LW-PLA?

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Depending on the weather conditions, I have enough difficulty seeing my models when they are flying, never mind having a see-through one! The ultimate in 'stealth' aircraft!
