Oh, ok. What should I use? I imagine the kit comes with one, but what might be a good upgrade?

I can't remember if the Hornet comes with an ABS plastic body like the Grasshopper or if it has a clear lexan body. If it's lexan they're design to be painted on the inside protecting the paint and making it shiny. If you want a dull/matte finish you could paint the outside though. If it's an ABS, which I don't think it is, you could paint it with flat or satin paint to have less shine.
Thanks, that's helpful. The body for the Hornet is indeed clear Lexan. Painting the outside is an interesting idea. I'll have to look into that a little bit more.
