Once some references are in place the rest can be determined. The F-105 has far more stuff on the wings than most so patterns are used and then guides.

Most aircraft have a line at the wing tip which is parallel to the center line of the fuselage. Make the measurement shown and then cut a piece of styrene to that width.

Next is the flap which is also made from a pattern. Flaps are often shaped differently on the top and bottom.

Size S is the larger of two pens used. The reason is that movable surfaces are drawn thicker than the panels because there is more space between them. Cut a piece of styrene and tape it in place. This is a guide.. Draw each line separately, moving and taping the guide as needed.

Tape the pattern in place and trace around it lightly with a mechanical pencil. Remember this is on a solid surface.

Turn the tracing paper over and trace it onto styrene. I use a ball point pen for this .
