Yet more – 'name that panel !'

Here are some more correctly filled replicas:

Good morning friends 😉
It´s an original belonging to a FW 190 A-8. At least it shows all signs of a legit and someone creating a replica wouldn´t break it.

The instruments don´t fit but you´ll find the correct and nice ones easily exept the small Fuehrertochterkompass, which very seldom comes for sale and it´s value is about EUR 1000,-
But anyway a nice project. If one of you is buying it, I´ll do my best to help finding the correct instruments. Visiting Speyer aerojumble in April would be a good idea to get the instruments at once.

No idea about the value. Hard to say, how high it´ll go, maybe GBP 800,- (it´s only the blind flying panel)
Cheers,
Herbert

At the end, it should look like that (this one lacks the Drehzahlmesser):

Well if it is legit, like her 109 panel which got her £3450 id dread to think what she’ll get for this one. Oh the Sea Fury panel went for about £165. I look forwards to Herberts opinion on this. Bex

And another rarity ?

insane, absolutely insane…
If one wants to make a german aircraft restoration the investment on the cockpit is prolly gonna be more than for other important components…

But I have to say that some of the RAF parts now are at the same level.
When I think about Spitfire/Hurricane spade grips, Spitfire U/C indicator, Spitfire gunsight and some others.

Aw come on Alex, now you’re a businessman, you probably have that kinda cash in your back pocket! 🙂

TT

Herbert, So that panel etc… looks original then ?

Hello Dave
No, I don´t think, that the panel is an original, an original will be alone some thousand Euros because there are only few left.
I just took a closer look and saw, the undercarriage indicator is a replica so EUR 600,- minus. The Fuehrertochterkompass also seems to be a replica, looks like a cardboard face, this is a pity, they come very seldom and the value increased the last five years from EUR 800,- to EUR 1000,- and more.
Cheers,
Herbert

Sea Fury, just needs the altimeter fitting to the bottom left corner, possibly a MK14 Altimeter?

Someone calling me? 😀

Well, friends, you have to think of that:
A Fuehrertochterkompass in that condition would be about EUR 1100,- alone.
A Bf 109 undercarriage indicator in that condition would be around EUR 600,-
Starter handle complete like that EUR 400,-
The correct small magneto switch in that condition EUR 400,-
If the Luftschrauben Stellungsanzeige is not a replica it will be 300,-
The clock alone 400,-
Now we have EUR 3200,- (GBP 2150,-) without the rest.
Well, putting together instrument panels is an expensive one.

By the way, anyone having a Hurricane U/C indicator or fuel gauge……….O.K. at least I tried 😉
Kind regards,
Herbert

Magneto switch 400 euros, I couldn’t give my one away at the weekend! unless of course the exchange rate is €400= £30-…

Below is a response from the guy selling the Sea Fury panel to all of us:

“Many thanks you experts are amazing !I checked on Google 860 built 15 still airworthy ,wish I had the rest of it !!!!”

Bex

Hello Dave 🙂
Thanks, I have such a replica U/C indicator from Mr. Corke.
The fuel tank selector switch is an original with replica plate.
This will work as substitute but it´s fun to dream of an original.
Interestingly the Hurricane´s I´ve never seen for sale 🙁
So the correct fuel gauge 28 and 33 gallons. I wonder how the owner´s of the airworthy get them. :confused:
Kind regards,
Herbert

steve check ya PM’s 🙂

I completely agree – quality and rarity does not come cheap – I’m certain that it will go to a truly appreciative home.

Best,
J

And i wonder if Herbert would care to comment on this pricy item.
