It's really helpful (and easy) to loft your NACA profile onto fine graph paper and glue that to some Masonite. Carefully shaped to your line, it provides a half-profile template for checking your work. You'll need accurate centerlines down the the leading and trailing edge to index your template off of.

Have a go -- by the end, you'll know how to build a rudder.
