Default Styrene thickness?

Dumb question: Does anyone know what styrene thickness matches the thickness of a King Hauler cab?

Sheet styrene, that particular stuff is 1.0mm thick and is made by Evergreen Scale Models


Found this from another build thread they asked basicly what they used to fill in the cut out parts and such, also your local hobby shop may carry it that's where i found mine at.

hope this can help......Mike

The cabs are about .070in thick and .070 is not a standard size. You can either use .060 and add filler to build it up or use .080 and sand it down to the cabs thickness or at least this is how I do it. If you are looking for bulk styrene at a better price then buying the small sheets from the hobby shop try this link. My vendors forum.
