Yes the Airfix kit looks great in 1:48 ! I downloaded the instruction sheet for it off Scalemates for reference on the cockpit. Couldn't find any cockpit pics of the MK1 online other than the forward view.

Oh that's excellent ! Thanks. I only found one picture of the MK1 lots of the MK2. I can see though the illustrations in the instructions are very inaccurate unless of course there were two different interiors ! I'm definately changing a few things now.

The aft end of the cockpit relies on the instructions I downloaded. The question of which may be questionable in lieu of the pictures Wurger posted. At any rate. The wing spar, plumbing and rear of cockpit are glued in. Not to be altered. The seating arrangements will need some fine tuning as the instructions are quite different.

A few additions along the way. Pilot seat and the console with the throttles. The floor looks a bit wonky. I may try and raise it a bit more so it sits flat instead of sloping down towards the centerline. Depends on how much glue fixed it in and how much it will even be noticeable ! Eyeball exercise further may ensue !

That is brilliant and I recon you've got more detail in that little fuselage that's in the real thing.

Looking 
really good there, how does the floor look with the fuselage together? Does it fix your problem?

That's not just 'scratch building', it's what is known as expert 'model making' Amazing.
