JM Precision Cardmodels - Paper weights?

[Yorokobi]

I'm going to start Jan Müller's DH-88 Comet and have a question about the paper thickness.

He lists two thicknesses - 1mm (for structural shapes like wing spars and boxes and .5mm for the layers of the wheels. But he doesn't recommend a thickness for the skin.

Any recommendations for paper, here in the States?

Thanks in advance

What scale is it?

The scale is 1:33

Ah, ok. On cardmodels.de he says 160gsm

OK. I would recommend Pen+Gear Premium 8.5x11, 110# (0.22 mm thick) cardstock. You can get it online from Walmart (this is what I use for the majority of my models).

I agree with @Rhaven Blaack on the 110# paper, it goes thru my cheap Canon TS3122 printer, and it is thick enough to hold it's shape. As for the thicker cardstock, I use cracker boxes and laminate to the needed thickness.
