Dimensions cross-checked: approximately 12.85 m length and 14.10 m span. The reference top view, rather than the Merlin IV outline, determines the fuselage, wing, nacelle and horizontal-tail locations. Uniform scale and symmetric upper-half reflection. Edge-on propeller blade bars are added where the top-view diagram omits them. Native SVG with transparent cockpit, nacelle and control-surface cuts. Decorative identification artwork, not an engineering drawing.
