Tony Whittingham Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hello All, I have a copy of the Heller short fuselage Constellation that I propose building, and the prevailing wisdom is that the window openings are too large in diameter. Does anyone know what the actual full-size measure is for the circular windows? The kit ones are 18 scale inches, IIRC. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

72linerlover Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hi, Tony. I found out an old book that is a translation of a french one. Jean Bouillier says that he personally mesured the diameter of the pax windows in the Museum of Le Bourget (F-BAZR). Real thing diameter 365mm; 1/72 scale 5,1mm. link Hope this helps. Best regards.
