I’ve emailed the Spit wing chap, and hope to help him out a bit, if he needs it.
Having endure the usual mind-numbing political spin of a child’s prize giving evening, I didn’t have much else to think about.
My project will now strive for 100% accuracy.
Plan form, sections and internal detail, where visible, will be spot on. As will the u/c. Instead of the ‘outer portion’ it will be one whole wing as delivered to the fuse.
Almost certainly at 1/12th scale. Rivets do rear their lovely heads at that size…

This project has just got a lot more complicated, thanks to all.
MASR’s link is looking very hopeful. Reading it now.

The Spitfire wing section changes and the section at the tip is quite different to the root section, including washout.

There is a very interesting thesis on the development of the Spitfire wing at

Yep, just like that thanks Tony!
Yer wouldn’t have a link for the foil section (typical not all – if it does anything other than reduce in line with chord)?
