1/32 plywood
BLVDBUZZARD:
We have places within 5 minutes from here with thin veneers. These sort of come out like the door skins. They are way too grainy. They do not stock plywoods though locally. Thus would like to order up a 2x2 or 2x4 sheet.
SCALEBUILDER:
My father was a painter for decades. I used his wood bleachs which did turn out a bit lighter, however just the opposite it made for good contrast in the natural Birdseyes that appear in Birch plywood. The original model had a reference to a "Bathtub" as the exterior of the fuselage was made up form some paneled hard wood. I want to use a fine grain light plywood then scribe in lines to represent the origianal panels. It looks fake to use a slab of Birch plywood, as the Birdseye grain runs right through the scribed lines.
I see references to 1mmand 1.5 light ply on U.K. printed plans, and would like to find such domestically.
