    Curtiss AT-9 Jeep

    Hi Guys,

    I'm busy working on a Curtiss AT-9 Jeep in Gmax and I'm almost finished with the exterior and getting ready to model the interior. Cockpit information has been hard to come by and I was wondering if anybody had any cockpit photographs in their collection?

    In particular, I'm looking for photographs of the seats and the inside of the cockpit doors.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Stratobat

    I have looked high and low for pics of the inside of the AT-9...and came up empty handed. There are only 2 AT-9s in existance. One is fully intact and is at the USAF National Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The Other is about 50% intact and is being reconstructed by a group out west someplace. Finding interior shots of the AT-9 is going to be a real treasure hunt.

    Wish I could have supplied you with the material you need...as I would really love to have an AT-9 with a VC. Such a wonderful little trainer. I have read many accounts from WWII pilots who said that they used the AT-9 to prepare them to fly the P-38, when they should have used the P-38 to prepare them to fly the AT-9.

    Kinda like Connie Edwards' old adage "Start out in a Bearcat, transition to the P-51 and then you're ready for the T-6."

    I have several good shots of the interior of the AT-9 cockpit. They include several of the dash as well as the inside of both doors and such. If you like I can find a way to email them to you if you like. No charge. Just want to help out an AT-9 guy. ill

    Thank you for the kind offer but unfortunately I do not have the AT-9's source files anymore.

    I was busy transferring data to an external hard drive in preparation for a format and in my haste I totally missed my Gmax Scenes folder and ended up losing the project, along with a Hispano Buchon I was also updating.

    I know I'm going off topic slightly. My apology.

    I would like to see this model done for FSX some day.
