Planking material. the model shipways fair american kit contains wood strips for planking. it includes basswood strips for planks and a set of thin walnut strips to use as a second layer of planking. several months ago, my puppy ate all that material. that led me down a path of replacing much of the kit’s wood, including all the planking..
