I don't know about anywhere else, but around here I can get MDF just about anywhere in thicknesses of 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, and probably others Ben

I believe the only thickness is about 3/4in which becomes rather heavy. It would be advantageous if you had a planing machine which might be able to basically thin the 3/4in ply to maybe 1/2in (reducing wood weight by 33%, correct?) and the wood will still be very smooth. -Mike M.

MDF is very smooth, so should provide a good finish when painted. Does MDF resist moisture well enough once painted? I know it's heaveir than ply, but the finish on it may offset that penalty, and it's still lighter than metal :) Ben --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
