RE: T&J Models Gloster Meteor (short kit)(EDF Jet)
I tend to like 3/32 sheeting because I like to sand a lot, this way I won't sand it to thin and by the time I finish sanding it will or could end up at 1/16, but your probably right and I may just use the 1/16 and be careful on the sanding. I am planing on glassing the center section as i do on all my kits, i still haven't ruled out glassing it with 1/2 oz cloth but really don't want the mess of painting. If i go with the camo scheme. I mays use an air brush to paint, and water base acrylics and clear coat it, no mess, but a lot of work!
This kit is the Jim Young design.
