Hi can anyone suggest a source of 0.4mm (1/64) ply, or an alternative. I need it to sheet the forward fuz of a small model so it needs to be a little bigger than 450 x130.

I buy it in Austria, in this store.
Shipping is cheap and I receive it in less than a week: :D

Thanks Manolo. That looks like a good option so I've placed an order. Lots of other interesting bits and pieces on their site too.

Hi Jim,
Catching up!
If you only need a smallish bit, I have some at home! But looks like I am too late :(

Thanks Fred, but its on the way thanks to Manolo. I've never used 0.4 ply before. It must be almost transparent.

Hi FF, I have only just joined this forum and am looking around at the various threads. I am interested in how you got on with you 1/64th ply? I have used it on the ailerons on a 1/4 scale Habiche I have been building for years now ?? Don't ask? It forms the leading adge of the ailerons and goes through an almost 90ยบ curve. I had to soak it and wrap it around a broom handle for a couple of days. It worked well and forms a very strong structure. One of there bright fine daze I will get around to it again.
The complete rear of the fuz is skinned wit 1/32nd ply and is a lot more difficult to bend! But I think that the most interesting (?) job was the one piece main spar in the 'gull wing'. It too had to be bent!

Hi Jonzjob and welcome. I got the ply from Lindinger and although it was packed quite well it did suffer some crush damage in the post. However, there was lots left for what I needed, sheeting the rear fuz on a small electric DH Dragon. Another long term project I'm afraid.
