Hi guys. I'm looking for a cad program to do the following:

I"m building a full scale mockup of the front end of a Avro Lancaster from the pilot's seat forward. I'll be using it for a home game simulator. I have the engineering drawings for the plane and want to build it on cad then have a print shop print full scale templates I will need for cutting (formers and stringers).

Will any of the Viacad products be precise enough for this? I've attached a few pics of one done with autocad. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like a really interesting project. We have a client in the UK who has modelled a complete T26 truck in Concepts Unlimited / Shark FX but I'm pretty sure you should be ok with ViaCAD 2D/3D. You can take a look at some of the T26 models on our website at the following URL:

All the best
