Evenin all,
Thanks for your comments my friends, appreciate you stopping by
Lots of faffing about with design elements that always makes me feel i haven't accomplished much.
But here goes,
And were off.
Front wing, after lots of attempts this is what i ended up with, shape wise

Marked it out on 1.5mm styrene sheet

Cut it out,

Cleaned it up,

Split it up into its core elements,

Using 1.5mm tubing as my transition piece, stuck it back together with some angles

Filled with squadron green,

Sanded and with some edge profile work done

Quick squirt of primer

Decided it looked better flipped around so i then added the front elements
First with 'H' cross section piece
[ATTACH=full]63340[/ATTACH]
Then with tube
[ATTACH=full]63341[/ATTACH]
Then a piece of 'U' and a piece of half round on the tip
[ATTACH=full]63342[/ATTACH]
Then it was filled, squadron again
[ATTACH=full]63343[/ATTACH]
Sanded
[ATTACH=full]63344[/ATTACH]
Here you can see the cross section of all the different pieces

And then some more precice shaping on all edges

Came up with an idea for the attachment to the nose using tube that i will shape all fancy with sheet and filler later
[ATTACH=full]63349[/ATTACH]
Tube bent and glued
[ATTACH=full]63350[/ATTACH]
Filled,
[ATTACH=full]63351[/ATTACH]
Sanded,
[ATTACH=full]63352[/ATTACH]
Added some 'T' section on the ends, next thinking about more wing elements and the end plate
And thats where i'm at,
