Since the model company pegasus(sorry bad spelling)came out with a great white shark in 1/16th scale the old imagination started to run wild. So I would like know a couple of things about the bout from the movie Jaws.
Now can anyone tell me where I can get the actual dimentions of this boat?
Does anyone know the dimentions of the "orca"?
If I remember in the movie the shark was approximately 25-30ft long,since pegasus has the model of one which is based on a 9ft female great white,what are your suggestions on what scale the boat should be so the shark would look like its 25-30ft long?
Thank you

Lets make Jaws 27ft long, 3x scale size so new scale is 1/48
so Orca at 39ft is 9 3/4" long and 2 3/4 " beam and in a scale you can get figures in. Clear the water, folks, this one is feasible
