Pm sent

Slowly getting there with the panel but can any kind sole let me know the dimensions for the hole in the instrument panel for the later MK11 oxygen regulator or know of any wartime dated ones that are avalible to purchase please?

Thanks.

Yeah, that pic is of a 19, no side door and pressurisation, hence double skinned screen with the demist tube on the right.

Try Ian who posts on here, he makes excellent repro labels patterned from originals.

This should be a link to his details: –

Gents, can anyone kindly point me towards a supplier of high quality Spitfire instrument panel decals please?

Thanks

Approx late 1944/early 1945 rings a bell.

Does anyone happen to know when the oblong desynn fuel gauges were introduced? Are we later than the Mk XI?

Thanks

Brills!!! That will Ding Dang Doo for me and gives me enough info to get stuck in. Thanks all, much appreciated.

Yes..am sure this is the cockpit shot of the Mk 19 in the swedish museum, as the mkXI was merlin powered based on the type 351 spitfire.
I am sure I saw some pilots notes for sale for this PRU spitfire in the museum shop at Cosford recently which would show the instrument panles in good detail.

Your cockpit photo appears to be a Griffon aeroplane; at least it has the Griffon throttle box, and priming pump arrangement.

It’s the PR XI, as far as I know?

Thanks Alan, that’s a great help 🙂 Although apart from the permanent fixtures it seems to show yet another combination of instruments, do you know which Mark it is? Keeping to a Bomber Command theme and not having the spends for a Gunsight and oxy regulator a PRU spitfire seems to be the most obvious choice.

I’ll be basing this on a Mk 5 panel CAD file that i have so if anyone would like a panel let me know?

Thanks again.

‘take it you’ve got a version of this to guide you?
