If you decide to make a NACA foil, I can suggest cutting the foil shape in 1/2" MDF board and gluing it to modeling foam, in my case I used two different sizes of the same NACA spec.. These served as sanding guides as I carefully removed the excess foam with a belt sander. Once shaped you can glass the whole works.
Hope this makes sense. I have only done one so the whole process is open to improvement.
Best,
Reg
