Luan Crack-Up

[kate]

My problem is, that because I am trying to get as much height as I can as far forward as I can, I have a pretty tight curve on the upper front corner. The 5mm luann definately will not make the bend, and I am not sure about the 1/8". The water is probably going to be my best option. However, I LIKE the idea of the struts that run along with the curve! I may get this thing built despite myself!

I had the same problem with the 5.2 mm from my local lowes. It seems to measure about 3/16. My radius is 19 inches. On the body I left the cracks and will cover with aluminum. The hatch I plan to use the water technique and hopefully avoid covering with metal.

In the modell making scene, there is also availeble 1 mm baltic birch, used in airplaine buildings. I use 3 mm baltic birch without water. Make sure you see the wood lines horizontaly, thats almost impossible to break the ply.
