Spitfire cockpit plates dimensions

Which aircraft are they for Paul? The CHASSIS EMERGENCY LOWERING plate looks a little ‘square’ compared with the Mk V, IX & XI type which gets fitted to the edge of the IFF destruct button mounting bracket.

That one was copied from the MkVb the rest were copied from ones in the IIa,Vb & IX and are replacing missing items from our a/c

Thanks Fluffy!!

Looks like the ones us Spitaholics are keen on.Couldn,t be cheeky and put a ruler over them could you..:D To do it yourself lads check out this site…

yes please!!!:)

Are these the ones you are after

Any more info on placards other than Spits? I have a lot of those that need to be made for the Halifax cockpit. Peter had some made in Canada at quite a cost. Any alternatives before the wallet is empty?

Cees

Ahhh Placards…

Someone has done reproduction sets,just can,t remember who…Bit pricey though IIRC.Something on my “To do list”…

Ian the following plates would be nice:

Emergency CO2 bottle and operation
Elevator trim
radiator flap
airscrew control
the big warning plate on the starboard

Which labels are you after? I have sizes for some, both engraved and printed. They’re not all absolutely straight mind!
