John that info is gold and David that diagram is exactly what I'm after.

Now that it's looking like these models I have are both fairly accurate in outline there should be no company bashing so I'll reveal the manufacturers. The bottom wing is SM and is mine, painted from the factory. The top one I painted for a customer and is Scale Jets. Both are 1/5 Scale and both look awesome in the flesh.

I'll post some pics of both models fully set up next to each other for comparison when I get time.
From the McDonald Douglas loft factory drawings for block 30 I think ( Drawing LS 275-52 ) dated 8/4/76.
Given 200" = 1015,2 mm (my scale of drawing is 1/5 th) the root at center fuselage is 992.2mm, half span is 902.16mm and tip is 220,72mm.
Rear Le is at 90 deg.
Tip has about 3 deg washout.
Measurements do not include tip missile rails etc.
