Looking for a 1/72 scale resin cockpit for the Aichi E13A1 Jake. Any such thing available? If not, any goor reference to scratch one out?
Wow, Japanese cockpits are some of the hardest to find references on…About the only “good” ref I’ve ever seen on a Japanese a/c was a zero…

Thanks very much for the info. I’ve been Googling my fingers off with negative results. Do you have anything on the rear pit area and the side consoles?
…no…and I’d be shocked if you found anything…If I were you I’d mimic what was in a Kate…I believe the Jake had 3 crew, like the Kate, and Kate’s were sometimes used for recon missions…the middle area would be the radio station where NAC/COM equipment was in place, along w/ a small table for charts…
Try battlestations pacific, it’s a game but it has a jake in it and the game has a cockpit mode,
I would take some screenshots of it but I have no Windows on my Mac yet and my version is a windows only…
But at least I can tell you that you can find a 360° cockpit in there, maybe there is a site which shows the entire cockpit of every plane in there…
I’ll look into it myself if I’m able to.
With regards, Ninetalis.

That’s a good idea about the Kate. Those are some creepy pictures.
