Some magic fairy dust urgently needed!!

Failing that, or a sure-fire formula for resurrecting the dead!
I've destroyed the only scale drawing of the Spitfire MkXIV that I had!
It's a short story, a stupid accident, and entirely my own fault - I won't go in to detail, but it had something to do with a hot grill, spilled coffee and dissolving paper!
So has anyone got a scale drawing of the Spitfire MkXIV, side view, any scale, highback or low back?
All I need is the fin and rudder, so that I can profile the new one on my conversion, and the scale is unimportant, as I can re-scale the drawing, as long as I know what scale it is.
If anyone can post one, or e-mail it to me, I will be eternally grateful !
If not, I'll have to work off photographs, a non-scale line drawing, and an inaccurate 1/48th scale model, and cut the shape by eye.
Thanks in humble anticpation.
Terry.
PS., Jan, you can stop rolling around on the floor now, and dry your eyes!

Thanks Wojtek and Dave! That will do nicely, as the 'American Express' advert used to say!
Brilliant work guys, I can get back to work now, thank you both VERY much indeed!
This forum never ceases to amaze me! I post a vague question, and not only do I get a reply, but I get a positive result, within minutes! Fantastic!
Thanks again, you've saved me a lot of what could have been wasted work!

Glad to be able to help, Terry!

Though Wojtek beat me by two minutes and with better detail!

Now that's a good question!

Perhaps there were distractions...
