Constitution Cross Section

[Old Man of the Sea]

Starting the Mamoli USS Constitution cross section 1:93.
Want to make the hull with actual frames.
I have calculated the kit hull length at 3.09 inches. And looking at the drawing in Anatomy of a ship it looks like 19+ frames.
Math is not working out.
Can someone who has made this model tell me the finished length of the hull?

I have no ideas the siding of the individual frames, but for arguments sake, if the floors and first futtocks are 14" and there is an inch or so between them, it works.
out. If you do not have the information already you can contact the curatorial staff at the Connie Museum to get the actual siding dimension of the floors to be sure.

Thanks but I have great drawings of the ship. Just looking to confirm the dimensions of the kit so even though I replace the hull the bits from the kit will be to scale.
