ESzczesniak Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I've found a 3D model of a KC-135 boom to begin work on an AAR diorama I've had plans of (Tamiya 1/48 F-16). The model is proprietary, but I think sharing the brief screenshot below doesn't violate any terms (in brief, the terms just say personal use only, no profit for its use). Is anyone able to tell me the dimension of anything reliable in the model below. I need something I can measure on the model and compare to real life to set a scale. I am a bit focused on the diameter of the tip of the probe, but width of wings, etc could be get the job done as well. Thank you for any help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nebbor Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Maybe this museum might be able to help? They got one on display: https://amcmuseum.org/collections/kc-135-boom-assembly/ But I found this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ESzczesniak Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Thank you! The wing chord probably could give me what I need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
