Hi!
I recently acquired a replica Spitfire instrument panel through a friend.
It is a well made panel that appears to be made of the correct material (Tuffnel/SRBP) and with blind flying panel attached with the correct brackets (I miss one of the lower ones).
Some lettering is also pressed into the material as shown in the pictures.
However, I would like to get some help in determine what mark of Spitfire it is for. I believe it is Mk.IX, but the cutout for the supercharger panel and oxygen regulator seems odd to me if I compare it to pictures I have found online
of the Mk.IX panel. Anyone that can help me clarify this?
And: Has anyone out there compiled a list of the different instrument PN’s that is correct for the different panels. I know this probably varies a lot and that such a list might be diffcult to make, but I ask anyway.
Thanks!
Erik 🙂

Apologies for jumping on this thread so late.Â
I have acquired an original SRBP Mk IX panel and it looks to be identical to your replica shown above – including the old style oxy regulator and elongated cut-out for the early type supercharger panel. Looks like an excellent copy!

I would agree with Mk 9. It looks like a good one, much better than some you see on eBay.
