I made two for my Anglian Sovereign (still a work in progress). I used some plastic piping of a suitable diameter and reduced the aft diameter by gluing in plasticard strip and fairing in with filler. You have to ensure that the prop still fits the reduced aperture (don't ask how I discovered that!). I used plasticard square U to attach some small bolts which were used to attach the korts to the hull.
Hopefully the ached photos will give a better idea of how I did it.

Note: this has not yet been tested outside the domestic test tank.

Cheers

Doug
