Post by Chris glover »

Hi,
Anybody know how much the hull length was increased in the later marks with internal extra fuel tank?

Thanks for that Stephen.
Interesting.I think if I was building from scratch or had the drawings for the hull sides I would make the longer hulled version just to be different.I notice the engine decks are different on the later marks too.
