Mosquito is a 13mm mini-brute.
Very few minis used anything but 1/16". Bill- What do you use for powr in the mega-ninja ?

F20-7 for the first flight. I have a G that I plan to try this summer if we get to a big enough field. I'm hoping for Southern Thunder.

The K-12 Astron Farside used 1/16" fins also. Those first stage fins are BIG for such thin stock, but sure makes it light.

The Apogee II (Estes K-5/1205) also used 1/16" fin stock. The Space Plane used 1/16" balsa. The Falcon (Estes K-13) used 1/16" balsa for everything except the wings
(3/32") and the pylon (3/16" Actually, a Scout fin). The 1/16" balsa seemed to be stiffer in those old kits than the typical balsa that you find these days.
