Nope.  We've learned that the 1:16 plastic models are the perfect size

We have a couple of aluminum hulls, which are light and strong, but a 
little on the pricey side.  Not a bad choice if you can get scrap

Ahhh, my old stomping grounds.  Did my graduate work at Princeton 20 
years ago and discovered many different routes to avoid Exit 9 :-)
