I need a measurement...

[rickshaw]

I recently purchased two Maestro 1/72 Draken tail cones.  Problem is, they look more like they're 1/48 to me.  I only have an old Airfix Draken kit to compare them to.  I have no idea if it's really 1/72 or not.  Does anybody have a better model, like a Hasegawa one which they could measure for me?  I did the width of the tail cone at its base, just behind the trailing edge, if anybody could do it, I'd be most appreciated.

They are moulded beautifully but just look way too big to me.

Can't really do that measurement (parts don't break down like that in the Revell/Hase kit), but the vertical size of the nozzle end is 12.5mm, or thereabouts.

EDIT: Ahh, wait, no - I've just found a picture of the part you have (http://www.hlj.com/product/maemmk7222), and now I see how it fits - a straight drop-in replacement for the kit part. The overall depth of the Hase part at the "wide" end is 21mm, that's including the tailfin/spine bit at the top.
