    Wez, if you have a razor saw it will be easier to cut out the roof than using a craft knife.

    Thanks quattroo thatโ€™s what I was looking for and yes Colin h told be about the extra bulkhead Iโ€™ve taken that out before I came out before so itโ€™s pretty roomy in there now just at B&q pricing up some more ply to do the cabin just need to decide when Iโ€™m going to do the major surgery lol will do the bolt and screws idea after Christmas when I completely strip down for repaint and fittings but at least if I do it that way they will be easier to take off for updates

    The windows are a reference also, as the cabin bulkheads sit just beyond them.

    If you take out that central one which has been added and then cut the roof out flush with the other two it will be right.

    Here's mine, but ignore the bulkhead to the rear cabin as it was modified and repositioned as it was going to be a Sport.

    Obviously you will need a cockpit floor as well.

    Morning Wez, have you printed the plan out to your scale as that should give you the sizes you want. The drawing was based on the original Fairey drawing so they will be the same.

    I think it's safe to assume, being a kit, that the bulkheads are in the correct positions and therefore the cockpit will be between the front cabin bulkhead and the rear cabin bulkhead.

    Can you post a photo of the underside of the supetstructure and the inside of the hull.

    Chris
