Hate to belabor this issue but in any picture I see the vertical tail still looks small! Would sure like to see a nice profile picture of the plane that puts the nose / tail in one perspective. Regardless, I'll probably be on the buy list for this one.
Thanks to my friend Peter Fritsche (G-Pete here on RCU, he can be found in the warbirds forums and is a world-class scale modeler) I have drawings of the full scale plane that are scaled to match
the Wild Hare Hellcat.

I can assure you that the rudder matches the drawings exactly. The tail is to scale.

You may be seeing it as small because of the perspective. Here's another picture from the rear.
