Project Nova HLV

Hi folks!

Here at Forum Orbiter Italia, a new humble project has begun: the "Nova" Heavy Launch Vehicle, a family of rockets intended to totally replace the old Neptune, Jarvis and Quasar launchers, that some seasoned orbinauts could maybe recall.

Progetto: NOVA HLV

Il lancio di Artemis 1 è l'occasione per svelare un mio progetto che spero possa contribuire a far smuovere un po' di nuovo l'interesse per Orbiter e per il vol

Nova will start as a classical expendable rocket, with the expectation of a reusable development if we are lucky.

Currently, I'm busy designing the launchpad for the rocket. I'm looking for some technical drawings of the Long March 5 rocket (that has a similar configuration) and its related launchpad, to help me finish the job. Where can I find it? Thanks!

Although not strictly "technical drawings", paper models are usually a quite good reference when it comes to relative dimensions...
Maybe this helps:

Chinese Rocket: Long March 5 Y3 and Long March 5B 1/96 - PaperModelers.com

We have seen many rocket paper models but few from China. Actually one can only find a 1/96 CZ-2F (Chinese only manned rocket) paper model designed by

Thank you!
I'm particularly interested in the positioning of the launch pad umbilicals...
