I know it's not any kind of website, but I find one of the best sources for RAF WW2 types is the reproduction "Pilots Notes" often found on sale at air shows. They usually have lovely clear cockpit info, and not just the instrument panel. They also often have other useful goodies too

In the queue: 1/48 Beech Staggerwing (RAAF), P38 (RAAF), Vultee Vengeance (RAAF), Spitfire Vb (Malta), Spitfire VIII x2 (RAAF), P39 x2 (RAAF), Martin Baltimore (Malta?), Martin Maryland (Malta), Typhoon NF1b, Hellcat x2 (FAA)

Here is a site that I have used sometimes - specifically for instrumentation and dashboard configurations.

Funny, it worked fine awhile ago. I found it in the yahoo search for aviation enthusiast corner. it has a bunch of links to aviation sites. I spent two hours on the one for the Grumman fighters.

roadkill - the link doesn't work. Perhaps you weren't on the site long enough to write it down ? (just kidding !)

Thanks Pixilater! That site is excellent. It will at least help me get that Hurri inst. panel fairly accurate.

If anyone else knows of any other sites, post em. One can never have too many references. Big Smile [:D]

Here's a link to MANY walkaround sites. There is a Sea Hurricane cockpit photo under WW II cockpits (# 151). There may be many more. Good site to bookmark.

Cockpit photos?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, October 10, 2003 4:36 AM
I need a good source online for color cockpit photos. Particularly WW2 birds. Right now I am working on Hasegawa's Hurricane MkIID and would love to find a good detailed photo of it's cockpit.
I'm sure there are several good books available showing cockpit details but my funds don't allow for me to own any. If you know any good links post em here! Thanks Cool [8D]
