Can anybody tell me the dimensions of the Arvus model? I have an eye on a proxy and would like to know how far of it would be.

I've done some alterations to my Arvus but I can give you the basic measurements. It was purchased 2nd hand, but came with all of the original paperwork and the usual FW miscast and warping issues, so I'm pretty confident it's an authentic FW model. The wings were so warped it wasn't worth using them.

(I made the wings longer, and the cockpit longer (2-man) and gave it a taller tail. ) so my fuselage is longer, it is taller and the overall wingspan is wider, too. I've taken photos of the important dimensions, though. Overall height, and width from engine cowling to engine cowling.

Approx 150mm long (front of cockpit to top rear of fuselage.
Approx 170mm wide (wings horizontal) wingspan. The normal wings are about 35mm wide each.
Approx 70mm to the top of the engine turbine cowlings.

Thanks, that helped a lot

Which model do you have in mind Pyroalchi? I am also looking for a proxy.

The Grasshopper from Dragons Rest.
It's 24x25x10 cm^3, so technically to big. But I think the similarity is there...

yeah its got that boxy hull vibe going on. Some of their other stuff looks pretty sweet as well, thanks, im always on the lookout for alternate model companies.

ah, you have to 3d print it yourself? I thought the prices looked good

Unfortunatly yes.

I also consider this beauty here, but it was more of a Valkyrie vibe

It's a 3d print .stl, so it CAN be printed at < or > 100%, though.

You could also swap out the engine pods to something smaller (I've got a friend printing one for me, but I'm adding Tau engine pods to mine.).
