ok, clearly I am missing something.

As per your advice, I placed screenshots of the aircraft itself as backgrounds in AC3D (very easy to do as I found out) then scaled, tweaked and aligned the cockpit to fit the aircraft. I got it looking exactly as it should, then export/saved.
When I go back to planemaker (with the positioning at 0,0,0,) I have a perfectly scaled and oriented cockpit it sitting about 3 metres in front of the plane.

Sorry to be such a pain about all this. It's probably something simple I am overlooking but I am scratching my head to the point of getting splinters.
