On the BT-50 sized Phantom....when I built one I actually cut a 5.5 inch piece of PST-50 for the body for it (the kit came with a 4 inch piece) so it would be the same size as an Alpha III. That makes a great comparison with the two side-by-side. It also leaves room to actually put some wadding inside...
