Default 3D Modelling

One of the things that has always bothered me about the Spiteful/Seafang is the lack of accurate 3-views, but I finally found some good drawings on a Russian web page, and itīs from those drawings I made the 3D model. All the other 3-views I have don't look anything like the real plane.

What airfoil are you using for your model? I know that the full size used a laminar Supermarine 371-I / 371-II, but I have not been able to find the coordinates anywhere, nor any other info about the airfoil.

All my drawings show a 3-4° incidence. Seems like a lot but then again according to my drawings the tail plane sits at a 1.5° positive incidence plus about 1.5° down thrust on the engine... Maybe that will even out some of the incidence of the main wing?

What engine do you intend to power your model with?

Would you be interested in exchanging reference material/cad drawings/3-views?
