Default RE: Balsa USA 1/4 Scale Nieuport 28 Build

In preparation of building the other wing half I double checked the plans, which are a separate piece of paper, and the plans do not match. The wing half I already build is about 1/2" longer than the plans on for the left wing half. As you can see in the photos the rib spacing also starts to deviate (Photo is the right wing panel laid over the left wing plan). This should not be much of a problem. My plan is to build the wing right on the table, using some hand drawn reference marks on the table from the first wing. Somewhat disappointing the plans don't match in scale but not totally unexpected.
