Just down the road from here 🙂
If the instrument panel curve is correct,the coaming cutout is correct to the Spitfire engineered book and the distance between the canopy rails is about 22″ wide your fine..Problem with caste repros is that they are something like 5th generation copies where each generation shrinks a bit due to the casting process..Best is to make a new master pattern (off memory 11% bigger due to shrinkage) and get new ones cast..
Any info how the Mk XIV gunsight is fitted in the late Mk IX?

Just a high sheetmetal parts count…F11,s worse with F9 not too far behind with its curved hatsections…
I can do the coaming rails..

Cost is going to be a factor in anything machining..I just do static stuff so 3D printing is comparable to smaller stuff for me.[ATTACH=CONFIG]257694[/ATTACH]
