SUPERMARINE ATTACKER/SPITEFUL DRAWINGS

I am half way through the process of producing a 1:32 scale resin Kit of a Supermarine Spiteful but need some help!
Does anyone know of a drawing that shows the wing rib sections?

Kind Regards

Supermarine Attacker/Spiteful Drawings

Thanks Canberra man, guess what? I have found a post war document
on the testing of spitefuls,attackers and mustangs on the internet.
not only showng a drawing of the wing root and tip profiles but
a table showing the position of all the co-ordinates to create a truly
accurate profile!
So I have a created this in autocad and have re done this in 3D cad on Rhino
and am machining out already.

Regards

Spiteful wing section.

Hi Graham.

If you do’nt get the info’ you want, remember we are looking at the early laminar flow section wings where the thickest of the airfoil section is further to the rear than the norm’. You could experiment, if you have any photo’s, by doing a bit of carving, what looks right sometimes is right.
