I don't know any way to create them for specific models other than by trial and error. Anyone have a better idea?

It is not at all easy to design formers. Perhaps that is why several designers stay away from them. One way would be to copy formers from similar aircraft printed by other companies, case in point: The A-5A Vigilante. GELI has a Vigilante in 1/33 scale. Probably the fuselage sections don't coincide but at least you can get an approximate shape of what you need. Anyway, the best solution is that designers do incorporate formers to their aircraft.
