@TheOwlAce Oh, I stand corrected. It is the Blohm und Voss P.144 project, not the Bv-144. lol! I see now what you were aiming for.
Here's the three view for what you were aiming for;

Here's what I THOUGHT you were aiming for, which had me scratching my head as it was the bird the RLM gave the designation "144" - which of course was separate from Blohm und Voss's own internal Projekt numbers;

@DragonAerotech Ill have to take a look. And I though the BV144 I made was spot on. Its just to slow, and had to many technical problems. I have the admiral anyway, why spend money making a whole new plane when we already have one thats proved itself time and time again.
@TheOwlAce Oh I see, is that why you set it as free to use because you couldn't find the proper dimensions? I looked up the real Bv-144 w/o thinking to check your' recent builds; Quickly realized you weren't aiming to produce this aircraft. Have you ever seen the Bv-139? (Technically Ha-139 but manufactured by Blohm und Voss.) She's a sharp looking bird, in my opinion, bent wings, four engines and a floatplane - what's not to love?! lol They later created a quartet of Ha-142s based on the Ha-139. Photos of them are pretty rare though. Two of them were used as maritime patrol aircraft from 1940-42. The other two were used as buses for the occupation of Norway and Denmark.
I can agree with you there. I took up a challenge to make a P-70 version of someone's A-20 Havoc/Boston but I was going to trick it out 100%, right down to the panel lines. Thankfully I managed to find GREAT schematics on that one; Though I never did finish the project. It would have required so much XML modding because of the angle of attack on the wings being different, detailing the landing gear and so on. What are you trying to find? I have a LOT of military aviation history contacts with an eye for schematics, technical details and so on - maybe I can help? (I was a model builder long before SimplePlanes was even a dream and thus still maintain those contacts~)
@TheOwlAce oh, yeah that sucks. I sometimes look around at the Luft'46 page but on some of the planes there are just width. Not height, not length. And this makes me scratch my head.
Edit: i was typing while you were typing and the page refreshed after submit of comment.
@DragonAerotech Thats the site I got the plans from.
... I've no idea what I did to get my post to do that, I forgot how to format posts long ago and still don't remember how this happened. lmao

Welp, that ain't a problem if you ask me. You can try and guess the fuselage diameter. Usually works for me.

@DragonAerotech I was thinking of my BV 144 when I made this post, and how much of a hassle it was.

I'm trying to find 3D models of the craft I'm replicating when possible. Helps in getting the right scale.
@FlyingThings I guess you could make calculations based on that one measurment but shouldnt have to in the first place.

@FlyingThings how am I not explaining this any better XvX
Oh, you mean when the replica doesnt fit the real size, right?
You also gotta hate when TheOwlAce's Gravatar contains profanity. At least it's small.
@FlyingThings when Im trying to get the scaling right to the ingame numbers yet any info I find just gives me the height of the plane not the width.
Been there mate. You’re not alone
I dont get it.
