Franklin and Wilkins were not building molecular models of DNA at all. That was being done by WC. And Wilkins already had a diffraction pattern of A DNA long before Franklin came to KCL.
How I wish Prof Struther Arnott was alive to tell the story about the DNA structure saga. He was privy to the drama played out. It was Randall who pushed Franklin out of KCL taking DNA research away from her. Franklin herself showed a low res image in a seminar to Watson.
All details in Wilkins obituary by Prof Struther Anott. Must read. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1...
