You can probably spot some other things I've started to do wrong.
Ok, you already got the idea, but I would rotate the images in gimp ( top
and front ) to have horizontals and verticals.
If you crop the top view to the wings
I get a three view drawing, make the fuselage and 1 wing. Then I
convert to mesh and optimise the mesh if necessary. Then I remove half
of my extruded profile for the fuselage and duplicate and mirror the
remaining half to make sure I've a symmetrical object (assuming the a/c
is symmetrical).

I found that out from the blender chatroom actually :)
I have not tried cropping the images though, but I do copy each view into

Yeah, plus when I used the middle mouse button in the front view I saw that
