Never heard of wooden box section before,would imagine it would be nigh on impossible to manufacture.Could you not try 2 L sections together?Obviously there would need to be a degree of trimming to get correct dimensions but it should be achievable.

Hi I take it its to line the gun ports, I used plasticard, but im painting and got 12 x 12 from ebay!

If you want to go with wood especially if you are varnishing, you will need:
1x 10x10
2x 10x2
4x 7x2

All available via Mr T's link.

Using 2mm lime strip, the trick is to wrap the 10x10 in cling film then glue your box up, so the glue wont stick to the 10x10 , cut in place then push the center out!!

follow the picture attached,

Hope this helps.BigGrin
