Just finished building B-25 " Maratuka"

A friend of mine has been building rc aircraft for over 60 years and gave me an original Maratuka B-25 2 years ago. I just finished it and it is beautiful. I learned how to vacuum form and make molds as I damaged one of the canopies. I am a cabinet builder, pilot, artist and general contractor, never built an rc before and had to do this one as it was given me. It took over 1 year but was worth it...now I can build another Maratuka warbird if I can muster up the time..which one???

Would anyone know the sizes of balsa to be used with this plans have been looking at it all just unsure of it a bit
I mainly need to know for example a spar 3/16x3/8 balsa I'm unsure on the length thickness and width of balsa to use from the amount said

I'm used to working with millimetres and not inchs on plans

Any help would be much appreciated thank you :)

Measuring conversion solved

Solved my measurements converting on my own
3/16 x 3/8 = 5mm x 9.5mm

And have a measurement site that converts what you need to know for anyone that had the issue that I had with it
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/inches-mm-conversion-d_751.html

Been a fan of the B-17F Flying Fortress since I can remember 3 yrs old, 24yrs later still love it
Memphis belle for the win

Does the file need scaled up, or does it print out at the correct size?

vacuum forming

Does anyone know of a good source for information on building your own vacuum forming device, or perhaps reasonably priced units for sale?

Building Vacuum Forming Mach.

Yes. Go into the Forum Threads. There are several people here that can tell you. Instead of buying one, build one. If you can build a model you can build tools to help.
