I think I actually know what your talking about.  I
think this picture might explain it:

now, if you notice, my rear fin is shifted back so it
is not flush with back of the boat. This is wrong, I 
compensated for it in my build with a second nose that
I made from scrap, just forward of the forward hatch,
below the nose raker support:

I should of realized, because if you look here:

you'll see that the seams of the superstructure don't
line up with the seams of the hull. 

This picture is showing the correct way to the back
end should line up:

Anyway, I hope my errors in build result in yours
being better.  

and don't forget the rest of the pics here:

they do a good job of showing the area in question:

But do take them with a grain of salt, as you have
pointed out, mine is not perfect.  

Please do let me know how you make out, and oh, put
the word "Nautilus" somewhere in the subject, I get 10
emails a day with the single word subject "question"
and they usually are people wanting to sell me viagra
;) 

Sincerely, 

Jon

Ok Jon, here are some pics of the sub.  I copied the speedometer from one of your 
customers, I also replaced the paper windows with plastic ones.  I also used 
some scrap and made a life boat like on the plans.  I did a little airbrush work 
on it to give a little character.  I also put hand wheels on the hatches.  I 
did make a boo boo here and there.  I glued on the parlor lites up side down.  I 
still think it looks pretty good even so.  Hope you like it. Chris
