Does anyone do an upgrade for the Nav's 'coal hole' on the Airfix Canberra PR9?

Having examined the kit that Richard from Coventry kindly supplied me with at the MK Show I find that Airfix have got it all wrong, despite the quality of the rest of the kit. They even have the Nav sitting in the wrong place, the whole cockpit area is just transplanted from their B(I)8 kit.  :banghead:

I feel sure that one of the aftermarket guys must have produced a correction kit for it, but I haven't found one so far.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

What a surprise.  ;D

I searched under '1/72' and 'Canberra' in their somewhat dim search engine and it only came up with the Flightpath etch set.  :banghead:

Must admit I have a hate, hate relationship with their search engine  :banghead:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

May I join the club please?

I'm collecting the Pavla upgrade myself tomorrow, en route to the Coventry Show by the 'country route', result!  :thumbsup:
