Does anyone know if a Cerbera bonnet will fit a Chim..?

Close inspection reveals that the Cerb bonnet is a different shape to the Chimaera's, looking less pointy and a bit more "solid" - yet the shutlines on the wing look surprisingly similar...

If it doesn't fit exactly, as I suspect - does anyone know how close the fit is? Length, width, how true to wing shutlines, any other dimensions (bonnet hinge etc) worth mentioning?

Thanks,

Dom

Isn’t it’s profile also different.
Could it be made to fit with what I imagine would be a lot of skilled work or is it a non starter?

Anything can be made to fit but what is the advantage . The chim bonnet has vents and the cerb has the inner wings scalloped to let the air out the sides .

I bow to your knowledge. Must be somethign about the Cerbera profile that makes it appear longer?
