The trailing edge was pretty strait forward, used some heavy paper and outlined the shape, cut it down an bit and made a wood mold, checked the mold and cut some .020 to form it.  The nose was a bit harder, had to trim a little on the paper and check it, trim some more, check it, etc.  Once I had the paper fit, I cut out a wood form and the .020 and added 20mm lip.  It was a little tricky as the bottom has the curve, but not too bad.  The nose I drilled a hole every 20mm and cut out a small 'v', sort of like the root nose rib.  It did not come out perfect, but the lip will be riveted to the inside and as long as I get a nice edge along the seam I think it will look presentable.

Tell me more about how you made that shape.
