Default RE: From model to drawing - best method? (vintage pattern plane)

Hi Andy,

I have been thinking of something like that, I know it was flexible rulers but a "contour guage" seems exactly what I need. Thanks for the suggestion! I have ordered a contour guage now, it is 38 cm/15 inch long so it should be able to give a contour of most fuselages halves vertically and perhaps half wing profiles also. Picture of the contour guage I bought (it cost about US $56).
