The J-8II is the current model in service. There aren’t too many cockpit pictures, however you can assume it follows a Russian ergonomic design along Mig-21/23 lines if you need to improvise. Take a look at http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/aircraft/fighter/j8b.asp for one picture.

Some other links that might be of interest are from:

<International Air Power Summer 2001 covers the Chinese Air Force very well but all the aircraft pictures are external>

I built on of the AA Finbacks a few years ago. It was a simple kit, the major problem I noticed is there were several pieces that the instructions didn’t tell you where to place and the Canopy shape is wrong. Don’t want to scare you of the Kit. I did find a photo of the cockpit for you.
