I want to scratch one of these goose neck cattle trailers.

Is there a type of sheet styrene that somewhat resembles the punch panels? I've seen the kit livestock trailers, but if I can just pick up those sheets it'll be significantly cheaper.

Hi John,

I've not seen sheet like this. The only thing I can think of is converting WW II sand channel. The easiest way may have to be a bit of scratch building & punch the hole through thin styrene using a small drill bit.
Would be interested to see how this one turns out.

Kind regards, paul.

Hmmmm... Which scale ? It reminds me an awful lopt of a cheese grater -- the kind with four different sides and four different sized graters. You never know...
