VC-10 Help Needed

Hello,
Would anyone know where I could find the fuselage crossection dimensions for the VC-10.
I am a huge fan of the VC-10 and am looking to create a model for FSX.
Bit of a "newbie" to the forum, but seemed like a suitable place for my request.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt and welcome
Max fuse width (external) is 12' 4". I must have the external height here somewhere but can't put my hand on it at the mo. Have you checked out
www.vc10.net ?? It's a good place to look for all things VC10

Dave,
Thanks for the help. VC10.net was my first port of call, nothing specifically on dimensions other than cabin dimensions.
Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt
Welcome aboard
Have you not got 3-views??

Garry,
Thanks for the welcome.
Yes, I have got three-views. I like to start by converting them into splines within 3dsmax. In order to have some form of accuracy, I like to have the known dimensions of the fuselage to work from, and I can see how accurate the 3-view is and adjust from there.
I really want to make sure I get the VC-10 right, she is a beauty.
Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt
Max fuselage depth is 14 ft 1.5 in.
Max width from the same source is 12ft 4, same as DB gave.
Make a good one.

David,
Thank-you for that, much appreciated. Have enjoyed your VC-10 very much over the years.
It only goes to prove that the 3-view is quite off, much work ahead by the looks of it.
Regards,
Matt
