is there a way to get 3 view drawings of plans in an accurate scale?

i want to scratchbuild a few planes in 1/700 scale and a set of drawing the correct size would help massively

Try this web site. It has drawings decent enough for 1/700 scale:

HI "

Can you try molding the little guys from resin ? A few well made molds would last you a long time . Tanker-builder

You do not need to use scale drawings in the scale they are published at. If you have a scanner and can scan them, you can resize them and print them to any size you want. If you do not have a scanner, you can take them to a copy shop and have them resized at virtually any magnification/reduction.

Any decent scale drawing should state the scale it is published at, or else show a scale on the drawing itself (a ruler-like line with feet labeled on it). Knowing the scale of the drawing, and the scale you want to build it at, you ratio those to get the magnification or reduction you need to do to make working copies at your building scale.
