I'd be very interested to see how well 1/8" plywood/wood paneling holds up
against repeated pball hits at close range.
I doubt any game situation has resulted in a tank taking 5 or 10 point blank
shots in the same or near same place.
I was wondering if anyone has ever done a frame work of light aluminum angle
stock and then skinned that with plywood for an upper hull.
