Bakagalas (バカガラス) aircraft schematic/size comparison


In the anime and manga _Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind_ , several large
aircraft appear. I believe they are called 'バカガラス' (possible transliteration:
_Bakagalas_ ). I plan to make 3D models of them, as it seems it hasn't been
done.

Are there any schematic or good size comparisons for these?




It is apparently inspired by the German Aircraft Me323D-1. There are some
schematics for a model of that here <https://www.1999.co.jp/10548533>

Google image search of "バカガラス 模型" brings up Japanese plastic models/drawings,
if that helps.

The Japanese Wikipedia says there isn't any official documentation on the
specific size of the plane, but a fan site (<http://www.ghibli-
freak.net/nausicaa/mecha.html>) says it has an overall length of over 100
meters.

On a side note, someone made a real-life Nausicaa glider, which is awesome.
