I have not used Wings 3D but I would guess it is similar to other packages.
I assume that you have some good 3-view images.
Side View
Front View
Top View
Make sure they are all the same scale then crop them so that they are the same relative sizes in pixels.
Make the crop precisely at the tips of each part of the image.
So Top is x pixels by y pixels
Side is x pixels by z pixels
Front is y pixels by z pixels.
check the proportion of x:y should be the same as length/span from technical data.
--- and from that you can calculate z
In Wings 3D make a box dimensions x by y by z in metres.
Explode the box into separate planes and erase 3 of the planes.
Apply your cropped images to each of the remaining planes.
You may have to rotate them to line them up correctly.
They should be correctly aligned.
Theres a brief tutorial here http://www.onnovanbraam.com/index.php?t ... int_setup/
Not exactly as I've described, but there's more than one way to skin a cat as they say.
