If only it were that easy . Things that you'll also need to do a plane:

- Elevator,rudder, airleron, and flap throw angles
- Airfoils on tail, rudder, and wing
- Weight of plane with oil, with a full weapons load, and without fuel
- Performance at speed and altitude, usually used for in sim plane tweaking
- Detailed interior shots

.. plus dozens of other details that the designer might only know..
