Are you quoting what the actual scale length should be? My kit was spot on at 16", but there may have been a little paint build up at the aft end.

I took the information from Peter Always book and did some arithmetic and came out with 15.927. But I'm not perfect. I just play one on the internet.

If I ever get around to building another one with scale fins, I'll have to shave off 0.073" off the BT!

I’d shave off about 0.078”, since you’ll likely want to allow room for some paint buildup...

I don’t think Tim would want to shave off anything. He’d rather *sand* it off. Earl

I kinda figured that might elicit a scream or two! But, I mean, really: to just so casually toss away .073 inches (!) off a nearly 16" measurement, well geez man, you might as well just start using your plain eyeballs and put the ruler away!! And all this time we thought you were a true, dyed-in-the-wool, steely-eyed missile-man! Earl
