stars, bars and other icons

[Paulw]

In building the Albatross I came across a shape that I have no idea how to set up and make a template or a mask for. It is the anti glare panel that is angular and comes down to an ogive ( roundy point). This and other shapes have me baffled as to how to produce them so I can cut a mask and paint it on. I know there are plenty of masks that have roundels of various nations and stars and bars of all sorts but the little decorative teardrop looking decoration that you usually see on the nose or on the spats of an airplane have me baffled.

How do you make such designs and how would you produce them?

Either of these work?
