I either misplaced it or it was not in the HMS Fly kit, but the 1mm plywood sheet with the main deck is lost. Couldn't find a stateside wood supplier that has what i'm looking for. Anyone have a source? Thanks.
Bluejacket has 1/16 X 3 X 24 inch sheets.
1mm = .0394 inches. 1/32" = .0313 inches. So 1/32" aircraft grade plywood should work. Midwest Products sells it. I can buy it at my local menard's big box store. Also available on line
thanks doc. Amati answered email really fast and will send replacement. i’m impressed with their customer service. also ordered some 1mm from china and UK as backup. Will also check out Midwest. think I use to build model planes from there.
I found 1mm birch plywood at Menards in the craft wood section. It is strong and looks great with stain. The piece used below for false decking was stained with light walnut Danish Oil. It is made of three thin plies of birch. A 2'x2' piece costs around $24.00 USD.
thanks. looks nice. will check it out. think i’ll post all my sources after i receive my orders

After ordering from several places, I already have the first sheet of plywood in-house. It only took 4 days to receive a 3/64" x 18" x 24" (1.19mm) from MAKERSTOCK.COM. They are located in Old Forge PA. It is Finnish KoskiPly Birch plywood and the quality is excellent. I was impressed with the product and the delivery time. I'll use this supplier again. Cost was $19.95 and shipping $11.02. Not cheap but couldn't continue without it. Still waiting for the Chinese order (maybe Christmas delivery) and the replacement part from Amati which has shipped.
Glad they have a retailer in the states. Thanks for the tip.

Covid 19 in Shanghai and Peking. Streets are empty there. Nobody is allowed to go outside. It's a disaster for those people. So we must be patience
Ordered more as a test of company and shipping time. Figured it would a long haul.
I was surprised when the part from Amati arrived today. It was mailed on the 29th of April so 8 days in transit from Italy is about a good as it gets. 5 stars for Amati products and service.
Wow... I've been waiting 6 months just for some wood strips from Italy by way of Model Expo!
Surprised me too.
Try (the Lumberyard) its a wood supplier for model ship builders

You better go to the woods and cut it by yourself of a tree.
