Clear plastic sheet is the go-to material for the see-through parts of a model, from cockpit canopies and windows to instrument panels and cutting templates. This category focuses on acetate sheet in a spread of thicknesses suited to model work.
Acetate Sheet Thicknesses
The sheets are offered in .008, .010, .015, and .020 inch, in sheet sizes such as 6 by 12 inch and larger 17 by 17 inch cuts. Thinner .008 and .010 material forms easily around curves for canopies, while the .015 and .020 stock holds a flatter, more rigid shape.
Acetate cuts cleanly with a hobby knife or scissors and stays clear, which makes it practical for vacuum-forming bucks, glazing, and masking templates alike. Choosing a thickness comes down to how much the part needs to bend versus hold its form. Storing the sheet flat and away from heat keeps it from warping before you cut your parts.
