Bf-108 Taifun – Fuselage Formers

Drew the fuselage formers.

The 3-view that I am working from has a lot of formers on it. Unfortunately they are a bit “out of shape” and needs to be cleaned up a bit.

My initial attempt of making an assembly was to fixed the formers onto a center crutch drawn in middle of each former where the thrust-line is situated. This is the easy way, as the thrust-line is on all the 3-views. However, it’s not possible in real life to align anything this way, as it will cut through the cockpit. So, I used the side-view to draw the buttom of the fuselage and use that as the longeron crutch.

Next step is draw the engine box, cut out the cockpit windows and the cockpit ‘pit’.

Then we need to add cut-outs for longerons. Finally we can add lightening holes in all formers
