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.

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.
