Unfortunately, I'm neither an autocad user or over 50 (quite yet).

And few 3-views or even structural drawings seem to provide a "frame view" I suppose if this really mattered measurements could be taken from the top view as Donnie suggests and then a new "stetched" side view produced. I don't think I'd bother on a casual scale model but for something built for serious scale competition I'd think this would be necessary. Can a scale judge see that a fuse is 1/4" too short? I don't really know anything about scale competition. Do judges actually get out the calipers?
