How familiar are you with surfacing? Dont think you can get the shape you want using regular solid modelling tools. As i see it in your lowest pic, the one with the green surfaces, it seems like atleast two 5 sided surfaces. You "can" do a 5 sided surf using style (or N-sided surf) but i would suggest you break down each of the two green surfaces into two 4 sided surfaces instead. You probalby got the same problem on the backside?

Tobbo... honestly I work mostly with solid modeling... I have to learn also the surface modeling for sure
SZIFO... tnx also for your support! got some great ideas with your model

At the end I have managed to make the shape with sweep blend and some minor corrections afterwords.
