Hi @muller.dom 

If I understood you correctly, you are struggling with recreating the bended positions mainly on horizontal axis (front and side views)?

I am not sure if it is the best way of re-creating it, but my take would be to insert 3 canvas images from side, top and front. Then use splines to create the the paths for sweep option. Please refer to images below:

Then use the bottom canvas to cut out the sides with extrude feature:

Hope it helps in any way.

3 sketches, a curve in the first 2, 

then a Sweep Surface, select one curve (shape) and then slide handles to the end of the Path. 

Then a top sketch to cut the top view outline.

Might help...

No problem.
Since you are new to the software, I would suggest taking a look on Fusion 360 School YouTube channel to extend your knowledge using different F360 features.

Good luck designing!

Nice work! It would be great if you could attach the model.

It really helps new users to better understand the workflow when going through the timeline.

Thanks @TrippyLighting, much appreciated.

I have attached the file, but whoever uses it please note that it is not complete, since there are not constrains on the sketches as well as the overall model is not perfect. 🙂
