Default Fin thickness question for k-50 Interceptor

Hi,

I have a futuristic parts assortment, moldin oldies pods and tailcone and Jim Z decals and thinking about starting an Interceptor clone. Erockets has the parts on a 3/32 sheet and seems flimsy. Jim Z site lists each of the two interceptor fin sheets as two different thicknesses, wings at 1/8" and rudders at 3/32". Can anyone confirm the the two sheets are the same or different in the older kit?

Thanks!

sorry for the wait especially since you're snowed in but it is indeed one eighth of an inch. If you already bought the parts I would just laminating with paper to stiffen them up and that'll bring it into the right ballpark for thickness unless you're one of those people that insist on it being exactly the same

So wing and rudders are 1/8?

No rudders are 3/32. The info on Jim Z is correct. Sorry for the confusion.And the wait.
