this is the McDonnell xp-67. These are just some pics of a model. Was easy to get a feel for the shape and such. I'm trying to get a little more accurate estimate on my wing area. I'm a little lost with this blended fuse. It uses a "mostly" laminar airfoil up to where it blends with the fuse. It peaks right around 50% chord.
I just don't know what and where to measure to guess a little better on this.

the actual model I'm building is this. I included a picture of the wing root. I don't know if it helps or not for what I'm asking

You have a lot of information on the full scale prototype. Is there a wing area called out for it. It so, scale it to the size of your model.

Wow, I didn't think of it.
