The "Iron Annie" Ju52 I hope is a long way down the line. Not an easy subject. Plans used to have a "materials list" printed in the corner. A recent letter to one of the modelling magazines asked if it could be re-introduced, editor said it may well be. All plans have the size of wood on each part, sometimes recommending "hard" "soft" "med" etc . Ply and hardwood parts will be indicated too but unlike a kit you may have to buy a whole sheet only to use a small part of it. This goes into the "spares box" for future projects. You will get a feel for choosing the right balsa and how much to buy. Always buy more than you need to allow for mistakes.
