Just a quick note David,lovely project,when tackling sharp curves like that simply use laminated balsa pieces well glued and pinned,you can also introduce a splice of a 9 to 1 factor,this is common fullsized practise and is very much stronger than bending wood.
All of the DB models are classics and designed and built by modellers as opposed to just kit manufacturers,by the way the prototype of this kit model painted two tone blue was used in the TV series 'Airline' many years ago,I have just thrown the complete series out done on video in my mammoth clearout.
