Aerokits Fireboat Front Cabin Roof?

Here is a nice pic from front, so you can see curvature. I made my roof from 3 pieces, then glass cloth with resin, its a very complex shape and quite difficult, and my method of holding it all down waiting for the resin to cure!l

Aerokits Fireboat Front Cabin Roof?

I have a set of plans for an Aerokits fireboat and I have finally gotten around to re-drawing them Into Autocad so that I can come up with the component details.

The original plans just show side and plan elevations. My question relates to the fixed front upper cockpit roof. (Above the three forward facing windows).

It Is clear that the back of the roof has a nice radius across the width of the boat but does this radius translate to the front of the roof?

The side elevation would Imply that there Is a curve In the roof above the middle window but It looks like there Is no curve above the outer windows!

If someone could post a picture taken squarely at the front of an Aerokits boat It would be much appreciated.
