I've always found that anything you need is most likely available on eBay, but as others have mentioned, there are a lot of factors that come into play when it comes to finding the right weights/thicknesses of paper for certain kits and parts. I've bought plenty of 0.5mm, 1mm and 2.0mm card from there, all in A4 as that's the standard where I'm from. I guess it would come down to shipping costs, I've noticed a lot of the german and polish online paper model sites sell this stuff too.
As for fitting issues due to paper mismatches etc, this is pretty much why I resorted to painting my models early on. As much as I'd love to build a paper kit "out of the box" as it was intended to be built, I'm not sure I have the skill levels required, I've always been a bit messy and most of my messes are easily hidden with putty and paint.
I'm curious about this "7.5 mil" paper, surely that's not referring to 7.5mm, which is the only "mil" I know of, and paper that thick would pretty much still be wood.
