Can any of you fellas help me out with the sizes and shapes of the 'planes and rudders on a 1/96th Skipjack, please?

Is that one of David Merriman's Skipjack? If so, why not try to contact him. I'm sure he can help you out.

To be honest, I haven't a clue who's it is sir, I bought it off a guy on EbayUK last night for £25(whatever that is in dollars?)as a brand new and untouched hull/deck/sail set. I'm hoping that the wtc from my Trumpeter Seawolf will slot straight into it(fingers firmly crossed!)

It should be here in the next day or so, so maybe there will be some paperwork or something to identify it with it.

I don't think that can be one of Dave's. The sail looks totally wrong in that photo, it should be raked forward, not bluff.

The hull profile looks about right, so not a bad find for 25 nicker, and a bit of resculpting of the sail shouldn't be difficult.
