There are different generations of this plane. My plane has 1/16 plywood doublers. Another picture shows 1/8 balsa doublers.

In both cases sand the fairing on the edges before gluing. It cannot be done effectively after gluing.

3mm light ply, probably.

2mm would be reasonable I think, 1.5mm might be better. Those sizes bracket 1/16 it would appear.
