I think NOT worthwhile...looks cool though, Building Buddy, hangar mate Bob K. posted a good way to remove the plastic...It works great, just start yourself out with a roll of the material and use the roll to remove the other pieces, building yourself an BIGGER roll, the bigger the roll the easier it comes off...or do what I did last weekend watching (read babysiting) two young fellas about 8 and 9 years old. I turned them loose on the bottom of my fuselage and they stripped off all the neat little strips I still had...they said it was more fun than bubble wrap...just were upset it didn't make noise...so I tossed firecrackers at them while thay did it  You like Apples??? how ya like them Apples!!! Ingrates!!

I agree with Deems. I started off doing the same thing until a couple people asked me what the benefit was. I said to protect the parts but that goes out the window as soon as you realize you have to scuff the whole thing up anyway to paint and the plastic won't stop anything that would gouge the skins. So unless you are going to polish the skin and not paint, I wouldn't waste the hours it will take. Most people have also reported that it is much more difficult to take off the longer it is left on. And the corrosion problem is real, people have seen filliform corrosion under the blue wrap. YMMV
