Best training for converting 3 views into models, either solids or mesh

Nameless WJH:
Here is an example I randomly created using data from this webpage:
in section III A.
https://www.researchgate.net/publica...ssion_analysis
JPG of SW model:

I just looked for a 3-view drawing example which one is in this document with some dims.
I entered the side view of the drawing on the R plane and scaled by known dims.
I copied the scale of the sketch pic to apply to the other views.
I put the top view (scaled the same) on the T plane.
I put the front view on the F plane.
Then it is a complicated effort of extrusions and lofts, capturing the data via sketches at various planes.
Knowing the design data like airfoils and things helps, but for an approximation, you can get a pretty
reasonable model if you take the time.
Here is a link to the model I made for study:

As you investigate my model and feature tree steps hopefully you will get an idea.
Tip: View from F, R, T and you will see how the sketch photo aligns to actual real life dimensions.
