Does anyone have any good pictures of A Ju 87 b instrument panel? Or of any part of the interior of the B model. Squadrons book completly ignores this variant as far as the B model goes. I have spent two fruitless days on the internet looking for a single good picture of the instument cluster or the rear gunners compartment. I have never had such bad luck on the internet so far. I have managed to find info on obscure planes like a Ro 37 or a Fiat Cr42 but no good interior shots of a Ju 87? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are some differences in the intrument lay out as well as some of the other controls are in different places in the cockpit. Either the 1/24 airfix kit has mistakes or the D and R model insrtument panels are signifigantly different. Unfortunatly because I can not find a picture of the B model I do not know the answer. I know the A and B models are different from the D R as far as the rudder pedals go. I am trying not to spend even more money on reference books but if I have to I guess I will. Or mabye I should stop being a rivet counter and just paint everthing the best I can!
I have a couple of early Aeroguide books on the Stuka and some other older stuff as I am converting the 1/144 Revell B-1 into the twin tail prototype.I’ll see what I can find and let you know.
Thanks Mick. I will have to brush up on my Aussie lingo! Straight away right. I have to say I have yet to meet a mate from down under who would not go out of his way to help another modeler. Wish people were as outgoing up here in New England. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you Ray. I found these already I guess they will have to do because that is all I have been able to find also. They are not an exact match for the instument panel in the Airfix 1/24 kit but they are close enough so I can guess at the rest. I have always claimed not to be a rivet counter so I will use my imagination a little. Thanks agian for the input.
No worries at all, you blokes have helped me heaps! I have a good sized B&W photo of the instument panel and the starboard console of a B-1.Send me an e-mail and I’ll send them right back.
Thanks Mick for the great pictures. Definetly better than anything I found on the net so far. Great pictures of the control box also. Hope I can help you out if you ever need anything you have my email so feel free to drop me a line any time.
