P-38 Lightning Cockpit

Thank you, Mike, she’s a beautiful aircraft.

This is a shot I took of the Jack Croul/Allied Fighters example, based at Chino.

Thanks Trumper, I’ve seen a lot of variation so far between the different models and I can see me having to learn a little more about the more subtle differences between them. Thank you for the assistance 🙂

Thank you Mark12, I will have a look around for some. That must have been a fantastic experience! I need to be as accurate as is reasonably possible. Nobody is going to get a tape measure out etc… But I would like it to look right.

The ‘Detail & Scale’ modeller’s books are very good for cockpit shots. There are no dimensions but but you could scale from known dimensions like radio selector boxes or instrument diameters etc. How accurate do you need to be? That must have been a memorable day out Mark12, although I remember 1974 being in colour.

Here is a partial shot of a panel I took in 1974.

This panel may be non standard.
