Kit options and pricing

Originally intended as a flat pack DIY option that all parts could fit through a standard loft hatch, we quickly discovered that most customers wanted a fully built option.  Suits me because I enjoy building and painting them!

If you don't want all the fun of building a cockpit then we can build and paint it for you in any colour you want. Headrest and  canopy not included. See options.

This option comes with all the fixings and fittings required to build a cockpit. The dimensions of the flat pack are shown below.  Headrest, paint and canopy not included. See options. 

This option needs to be specified prior to ordering a fully built kit as it is specific to each cockpit.  Small misalignments  can happen during a build so it is not possible to cut the glazing to fit every build. This option is available as a DIY kit add on for £150.

This headrest fits directly into pre-marked holes on the armoured head plate.  This armoured head plate comes as part of a DIY kit or a fully constructed cockpit.

If you can build flat pack furniture then you could probably build one of these. You will end up with something resembling a spitfire within a couple of hours.  The estimated build time not including painting is around 20 hours for a solo build.  

There are lots of screws so it is best to have an electric screwdriver or a battery drill.  There is a small amount of drilling required but most parts including the skins have been pre-drilled. Clamps as pictured above are also useful especially for solo builds.  There is a comprehensive set of photographic build instructions supplied with every DIY kit.
