I tried to make a F-16C replica a few months ago but it didn't work out because the blueprint I got had slightly different sizes for each view when scaled up (based on wikipedia's specifications from this page).
What is a good website for accurate blueprints? And are the specifications listed on wikipedia accurate at all?
Nowhere
@ZeroWithSlashedO Alright, thanks.

Look up "Standard Aircraft Characteristics". It can give you more specific performances of the aircraft.
If you want to make a very accurate replica however, look up NAVAIR manuals.
Also, if you have a drawing app with rulers, use the rulers, angle them at 90/0° and see if it's straight center right from the nose to tail.

Alright then
@ColonelCanada Eh, not a big fan of WW1/2 planes.
Maybe I'll try making a F-16C at some point.

Suggestion:
BF-109. Not a lot of those here.
Suggestion:
B-24. Same, not very many.
Suggestion:
V-1 rocket- nevermind ima do that myself...
Suggestion:
Fokker Dr.1 Tried making that, sooner or later that turned into my cropduster.
@ColonelCanada Well it's what I was doing before as well, but at this point I've spent all the creativity I'll ever have in my entire life.
I just use my head
I just use google
@ZeroWithSlashedO How do I tell if a blueprint is angled before I start building? Also I think those small differences from the Wikipedia page are what messed up my last attempt, where did you find the more accurate specifications?
Well, I used the one Blueprint that existed on the Wikipedia, and I had no problem. Also, for the size, if you're unsure, you can always ask somebody to measure it for you, or you can measure it yourself. Go to a museum, and ask whoever has power to measure the size of the F-16. It's a hard task, I would imagine so.
Also, for blueprints, check out the-blueprints.com. It's where I get my blueprints. I would warn you though, most blueprints are angled by like... 0.6° or somthin. It's really annoying.
Edit:
According to the unclassified document of "Characteristics Summary of the F-16C Block 32", the F-16C Blk 32 has a length of 49.3ft, height of 16.6ft, and a wingspan of 32.8ft. Compare it to the Wikipedia's (F-16C Blk 52) size data, the dimensions are equal if not very close to that of the declassified document. Length of 49.5ft, height of 16ft, and wingspan of 32.8ft. So rest assured, it is accurate. While not 100%, it's still accurate.
