Actually, this helps me a lot, and may have answered my question already.

The 757...and then the 727...led me to info on 707 and 737.

I have been trying to settle on a fuselage dimension (width and overall diameter).
I was working with a 3.8m dimension (at 1/100 scale)...and it seems that all these narrow body jets
fall into that general area (or just under)...3.5m-3.8m

So my number is already close enough to work.

I'm working on a Gangway...aerobridge style...as a bonus accessory for my kit.
And instead of a flat end to the gangway, where it contacts the aircraft, I was going to curve the accordian connector to match a fuselage shape.

Thats why I was using a 3.8m diameter.

However, it seems that if I make it fit exactly, to one fuselage dimension, it doesn't work for other models.
So, after posting this question, I began to think "maybe I'll give it a slight curve, as if its just starting to form fit to a fuselage...then it might work against a wider range of aircraft sizes."

Which means, now, I don't need a clear answer to my question...! lol sorry.

But I do appreciate the immediate feedback!

I'll keep you updated on whether this idea works or not.

NOTE: I remember reading in an old Aviation book that as Boeing locked in the Fuselage dimensions of the 707, they used the same dimensions on the 720, 727, and the 737.

And, last night I finished up the "bonus" diorama kit... a Movable Aerobridge (Passenger Gangway).

Usually these aerobridges are attached to a Terminal, but for the right diorama, this might be an interesting accessory.
You can reposition the swivel points of the walkway during assembly, so it can be built in a number of different configurations.
The supports are also telescopic, so the height at each end can be adjusted.






This is where I was unsure about how to shape the aircraft contact seal...rather than shape it to an exact fuselage,
I decided to give it a slight bow, as if its not quite fitted tightly to a fuselage...that way it should work with a variety of aircraft.
