I'm undecided which to use.
I struggled using mono for rigging on my 1/28 Spad which
turned out OK but can see how a slight stretchy thread could be desirable on my present build, a 1/28 Sopwith Camel.
I believe .14mm is the correct diameter for the mono
but don't know which size EZ line should be used.
Appreciate your help.

I believe there are only two thicknesses of EZ Line. I use the fine for 1/48, so if I were you I would use the heavy gauge.

I agree. I use the heavy line on 1/32 kits for bracing wires and the fine line for control wires. The elasticity just makes it all go so much easier!
