Yeah, I used the long conduit to cover the seam on my models. The conduit was .005" styrene, forcibly curved over a tight radius to set the curve in it. But over time sometimes it creeped up. If I did it again, I'd vac-form .005" over the correct radius tube and then cut strips from it.

BTW - the PERFECT match to the Little Joe-II corrugations, is the Evergreen "Metal Siding" sheets (I think the Plastruct may be the same, but Evergreen does sell 12" wide, 22" long sheets, so it can be done in one wrap). See cropped part of the drawings on my website to see what they look like.
