Abstract
A combination of two penumbral models similar to those used by Martínez Pillet (2000) is presented. One matches the observed rms fluctuations perfectly while the other reproduces the observed Net Circular Polarization. No factor three mismatch exists in this case. The rationale of using two different, but strongly coupled, models is explained.
