Yes, it is to long at the present time. It still has to be trimmed to size and fit. Your welcome on the magnets information. Flamme, if you can't get them let me know the size you need and I will pick some up for you. What caliber shell casings did you use for your black tube bases? I am planning on using 5.56 ones. That seems to be about the right scale anyway.

Joe, do these pictures give you an idea of how I am going to propel this in the water? The brass on the motor shafts are the stuffing boxes to keep the water out and have to be installed in the hull. Still working on the other parts of it.
