I decided to make the GP-12 fan box out of two .010 pieces and three .040 pieces of Evergreen styrene stacked together and glued with Tamiya Thin glue. This creates a strong plastic ‘box’ that can be sanded. I’ll use Tamiya putty to smooth out the sides and corners. Just a side note I ended up making two of these parts with the first one being gently tossed into the waste basket as the sides were too rough and out of square. Once I had a pattern it was easy to make a second one.
