Modelling the morphology of a nova outburst provides valuable information on the shaping mechanism in operation at early stages following the outburst .
We performed morpho-kinematical studies , using shape , of the evolution of the H \alpha line profile following the outburst of the nova KT Eridani .
We applied a series of geometries in order to determine the morphology of the system .
The best fit morphology was that of a dumbbell structure with a ratio between the major to minor axis of 4:1 , with an inclination angle of 58 ^ { +6 } _ { -7 } degrees and a maximum expansion velocity of 2800 \pm 200 km s ^ { -1 } .
Although , we found that it is possible to define the overall structure of the system , the radial density profile of the ejecta is much more difficult to disentangle .
Furthermore , morphology implied here may also be consistent with the presence of an evolved secondary as suggested by various authors .
