The Tornado was originally tortured ply - 4mm Okume. You can still find drawings on the internet.
I am unaware of any that were hot molded.
Indead very lightly built. When they went to glass/ balsa core they did have big longevity issues.

Later people associated with the Gougeons made some cold molded boats.
