I hope you didn't wreck any plans for collectability. Now you have given me an excuse to rebuild the Scorpius right. Thanks

Mark .

Thanks for the info

After further review, I have to say the longer dowel length is likely 'correct' /

If you look at the photo of Bob's nicely done bird ( above )
, versus the catalog / header panel photos on YORP - note the rear 'panel decal' ( rectangular blue decal on top ).. on Bob's the forward wing / pod support is at the front of that decal, where-as the catalog version has the wing a slight distance in front of the decal.
could be a variance in where Bob put his decals, but most of us tend to be pretty picky about placement,etc.

I'll go with the 5 5/16" which seems to aggree with my own vintage built-up version .

Thanks again ( and will be watching for that upscale version

Thanks, Mark. I'll get this info added to the plans for that kit on YORP.
