Hi Fellow builders

I am building a trawler for the first time and would like to build the interior of the cabin area which is not included in the build.

The ship is the Artesania Latina Carmen II

The model is 1:40 scale but I am not sure what size ships wheel to order.

Can anyone please advise?

Thanks
You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

Hi Rif-Raf, I don't know if this is any use to you? if you end up having to scratch build.

To get a good size, measure the diameter space of where the wheel is to be fitted and what would look right, as sometimes scale size can look too large/small.

A few to go at here..
