As I understand, the method used is similar to the one depicted in this page
Supermarine Stranraer scratchbuild, 1:72

Hello Draco,

Just noticed your design - looks really well!

I think I can see how it's done, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the explanation.

it is not that complicated as long as you have a good set of blueprints

Looking forward to building this beauty, to hang on the wall next to the Sikorski S-40 (Murph's Models) and S-42 (Upscaled from Bruno's design), your Boeing 314, and the WHV Dornier DoX - all in about the same scale. Love the big seaplane airliners

Now that the Breguet Deux Ponts is ready for final testing, I decided to continue with this project... The Martin M-130 will be next!. While I'm home, I do the scratch builds, and when I'm abroad, I do the computer stuff, so both models, the Deux Ponts and the China Clipper, will be developed simultaneously.

I gathered all of the necessary information to begin this design; the next and current step is to scale each drawing... 1.48. Every picture and every drawing has to match the blueprint.
