Default Help with complex fuselage shapes

I'll just throw this out there. I'm working on a version 3 of my Remos GX model. I want to improve the detail and accuracy of the cabin walls. Unfortunately, the Remos is a composite-material aircraft with molded shapes.

I have completed a satisfactory exterior fuselage. My thought was to knife and cutaway the unneeded sections of the exterior fuselage, then copy the resulting shapes as the basis for my cabin interior. I could then scale the model to about 99.9% of the exterior size and begin "molding" the interior cabin walls and the doors. This is proving to be a real challenge for me. There are no flat surfaces anywhere on this airplane!

In the image below, you can see the nicely rounded molded edges around the door opening and starboard window.

Any advice about how to begin creating these molded shapes??
