Thanks guys
Tonight's update as follows:
Pic 1
From the PV-1 manual, this page shows the layout of the radio operators station, desk and bulkhead locations. I'll need to fab the bulkhead between the radio area and the upper gunner compartment.

Here, I've drawn the design on a piece of card by tracing around a cardboard template I tweaked until it was right.

This is the new bulkhead compared to the resin version. Not dissimilar, but the resin item is too narrow to use in this location, which is right on the wing spar. You have to climb over the spar to get to the rear of the aircraft.

This is the Revell cockpit floor compared to the resin version. Not much difference really. I wonder why True details bothered. Anyway, I will cut off the central control box highlighted and add it to the fab'd new floor. I have already cut of the stairs that lead into the aircraft nose area, and will also attach that to the new floor.

The Radio Operators table is also cut from card.

Here is the cockpit area thus far, with all the bits above added, plus the pilots side wall from the True Details resin set.
