Maybe you can do an actual floor, side walls,upper small side walls, then a partial top ,the correct width, then start using plywood to develop the templates for the rest. It`s a tricky shape
Thankyou Bob, much appreciated

It may be worth spending the $35 and downloading the high res graphics of the vehicle. It would certainly give me a good idea of detail etc.

The model suggestion also has merit. I will have to check out what models are available . Using the scaled up measurements and building a plywood mockup sounds like it may be the way to go.

Lots to think about on this one.
