need styrene sizes

I found a place that sells styrene sheets and I wanted to know whats a good size for body kits and wings?(I tried the search function but didn't help)

Anyone?

I was looking into this too. I wanted to know what sizes are the best also.

for body kits, just for the base (skeleton) of it i use 1.0mm. for winglets, canards i use 0.4 or 0.5mm sheets, but for wings it depends on the style.

I don't just stick to certain sizes, I just eyeball which ever piece looks like it will work. If you asked me what size I used on ANY of my models you would just get a blank stare:eek: because I do not know.

i work at a thermoforming factory, and we use all diffrent size styrene. so i guess im pretty lucky.

For sheets i use 0.010" .020" and .030"

Can anyone sell me some Styrene sheets? Preferably .40? And if ur wondering why im not buying it from Tower Hobbies its cuz there shipping is way too much and its not worth it for a sheet of styrene thats only 3 bucks with a shipping of almost 9 bucks.

What shipping are you selecting from Tower to pay that much??
I have never paid more than $5 for shipping on even my largest orders....
If you can order several items at once it also makes it more worthwhile.

Get all of them. They will come handy later, and you never have to make another trip.

Its standard shipping i just checked it was $7.99 from Navada to CA.

I apologise, I just checked and they have increased their shipping rates since I last placed an order 2 months ago:mad:
