Hi Bob,
Can you post some pics of what you actually are faced with? Then we could possibly help better with a feasible way forward with a rebuild.

Sorry Tony,
I am not able to post pictures on here from my MAC - I have tried many times and failed - but I am taking pictures .
Tonight I took a good look at the superstructure.
The ply sides crumbled in my hands and are delaminating where they are not crumbling - strangely enough the balsa top (and also the balsa hull parts) are OK - but the very thin plywood used has not stood the test of time (very poor qaulity wood).
I quickly glued enough of the sides together to draw around them to preserve the shape.
Both of the long cab sides were supplied in two halves and fortunately when these fell apart the joint shapes were still OK.
At the moment I have removed both sides complete and I am trying to glue the delaminated layers of the cab bulkheads together to preserve the shapes long enough to copy them.
The cab floor just crumbled in my hands so I have nothing to copy, but I measured the size and worked out the shape before the sides came off and drew it on the back of a cereal box so I should be OK with that.
The cab front window frames fell apart so I spent a couple of hours placing the slithers of different ply layers together until I had a shape for the centre panel and then did the same to re-construct one of the side panels and drew around them both.
When I cut new parts from 1/8 ply it will be substantially better specified and much sturdier than the original flimsy kit parts!
