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.
