Of course the main reason that Fokker chose to lengthen the fuse (i.e. to counter-balance the larger engine) doesn't apply to our models where the longer tail just means we'll need to figure out some way to build the tail lighter or add weight up front.

It's a great looking kit anyway, so I wouldn't sweat the non-scale stuff. I've just about decided that I'm going to either buy another BUSA Eindecker 40 kit and build it as the sport scale model it is or make the parts myself here in Japan from the plans from my last kit. I might not even bother with a full-flying elevator or rudder.
