OK, that's great H. I can work from those. I'll post a sketch and explanation here later this evening (UK time), instead of e-mailing you. Should be quite simple, especially if the canopy is going to be open.

Thanks very much Glenn!!!

The N-3A and MK8 are both possible. Good link!

I have to add card to the side of the bay to block it off.

Great pics Glenn!
The Mk8 sight is the one I was thinking of H, equivalent to the British MkII, just as the K14 was a licence produced British Mk2 Gyro sight.
 
Thanks Wojtek, that's saved me a job! Any chance you can do the same for the front of the cockpit, where the 'solid' part curves down instead of up? I'm trying to explain that this part should form the coaming or shroud over the instrument panel.
I was going to do some sketches later tonight, as I seem to be having a problem saving any thing in my drawing software, but your stuff, using the model parts, is much better.
 
Thanks Wojtek and Terry!

I have to put card there?

Also, the gear bays are just open into the wings there is no wall, should I just leave it.
 
I think I'm good Aaron, the wheel bays and gunsight photos are the only thing that I really need.

Thanks for the offer though!

Ok for some reason my computer (The one I use to upload photos) won't connect to the forum but I added the card. The top part for the razorback is warped to the left.
 
No problem Harry. Here the second set of pics. For a correction of the mistake the key is the cross-section of the fuselage numbered 3 in the first pic.
