The die-cut fin on my WAC Corporal kit that I built in the late 1970s were made from 1/16" balsa. The 1/32" balsa was only used on the fairing strips on the launch lug/simulated wiring tunnel. Kits that had die-cut fins had a parts designation of BF-xx, where xx is the kit number that the sheet belongs to. Some research is required to determine the balsa thickness on a particular die-cut sheet.
