Morning Brian

Put a little man in there to the correct looking size and then measure him. After that, I'm not sure what to do.    :} 

I now if he is 2.5 inches tall then your boat will be scale 1:32.

Hope you are well and look forward to seeing you at Warwick.    :-)

When Aerokits started selling their initial range, "Scale" didn't seem to factor it was mainley "To suit" - whatever size Diesel engine (Proper power units).

  At a glance, the Hornet seems to have been loosely based on one of the Cris Craft designs and as the closest looking ones of the fifties were about 20 to 25Ft in length, your scale would be about 1/12th  or 1" to 1Ft.

I always go up on a Saturday.  Don't want them selling out before I get there.   %) Fool and his money etc.

If it's 1:12 scale then the little man will be 6 inches tall.  I know this from Lifeboat making times.   :}

They came from Dumas.. http://www.dumasestore.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=78_90 though they are not very good quality and the casting is quite poor.

I dont know if they export directly, but if not, PM me and I'll see what i can arrange for you..  ;)
