Hi Rowan,

Too bad it is not 1:48 scale!

Hi Tim

Well, the tailplane would, no problem.

Can you imagine a 1:48 version? - that'd have a wingspan of over 6.5 ft! It'd be great as a museum exhibit, but I don't know anybody who could display it at home. I think it might be too much even for one of Jean-Luc's mega-dioramas! A fantastic thought though!

All the best

Rowan

Being un-Metric, I assume A-4 paper is nearly 11" x 8 1/2".

Hi Mark

Near enough. According to Photoshop it's 8.268 x 11.693 inches (21 x 29.7 cm).

All the best
