Iam looking for some 1/35 checker plate pattern sheet , all ive found is some in PE but really need some in plastic card.
Anyone know if there is a plastic card variety out there and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

alternatively, you could glue some window screen on to plastic card. a bit cheaper for the amount of window screen you need.

Hi
Thanks Andy will give them a try doesnt look like they do 1/35 but the 1/48 may do for me.

Plastruct makes a variety of tread plate patterns in 1/35 scale. Try them.
