A question for the panel

[bazzar]

OK it's obviously time for a clue...

[thefrog]

Is it a HE-111?

[ian elliot]

Yep, my money's on the overhead panel, HE111

[Bradburger]

Heinkel 111, or maybe the Spanish built C.A.S.A. 2-11, as used in the film?

Cheers

Out on a limb, here... Lockheed XP-80 or P-80...

Yep, my money's on the overhead panel, HE111

That would make sense why AH is modelling the back of an instrument panel. Hmm.

I cheated, i fire'd up my Virtavia HE111 just to double check

[Bomber_12th]

Got the clue right away from the screen capture posted by Baz (they're Heinkels!). Fantastic detailing!

He-111 instrument panel:



BTW, having modeled a B-25 instrument panel for my current project, I knew it wasn't for one of those. ; )

[bazzar]

Spot on those who picked it. The label will of course be corrected and in German on the final product!

Now, another question.

I am in dire need of reference for all the cockpit and instrument placards. Can anyone assist please? This is a P2 - there were considerable differences between these and the later H series.

A BIG thankyou to anyone who can help

[blanston12]

Fantastic! I hope in addition to the normal military version it can include one of the civilian (C/G) versions.

[bazzar]

At this stage we are only planning the P2. But you never know...

Hi Baz.

Here is a P2 panel. Unfortunately there are no placards. Not sure why. Could have been deleted when they restored the cockpit or perhaps there never were any placards in this aircraft. I'll keep looking around.

The panel from Mal's post has the exact same layout as the one described on the website below and the introductory text also indicates that it is a later version for early 111s (D to H-6).
If you want to backdate it further, put the clock to the left of the artificial horizon and replace the OAT indicator with two combined fuel/oil pressure indicators*.

Shout, in you need a translation.


*I figure it looked just like the one on the Ju-88's panel (above the right VSI).

Thanks Bjoern, much obliged.

I now have an excellent reference to a P2 panel with clear placards. So that's one down... seems there were dozens of field mods as well so, nothing's the same as usual.
