Aluminium can be rolled round tubes , for example on the cockpit edges and the bottom
Of the body edges, but you need to anneal the it first.
Probably best to use a section of clamps hammers, hide and steel, etc.
Ok on flat areas but complicated 3d curved panels are very difficult to form
Without serious metal shaping kit and Skills!
Especially pointed or domed tail covers.
I’m still learning!
