No typo., I'm afraid. :-) It's a 1:7 scale balsa Spitfire Mk.II (the whole plane) and I need to do the instrument panel.

Hi. I'm about to begin the work on the instrument panel on my model Spitfire Mk.II (scale 1:7) and I would be really happy if anyone out there could provide me with a good (color) picture of the panel. I have been "googling" it but I get so many different results that it's not even funny. Cheers

Thanks a million. :-)

I did that... deleting the attach tag, but the picture still stayed there... That's just the Spitfire for you I guess.. You just can't shake it off :-)

That would be absolutely great, thank you so much. This is what I've got. As you can see it gives an idea of what it looks like. But I need more details. Also, I just realised that the rudder trim looks as if it's different from the elevator. (could be the drawing though) Regards

I have read your post a couple of times already and I can see the problems you are highlighting. I am lucky in one respect, though, that the kit I have purchased has only the most basic shape, so to speak, meaning that the canopy is plastic, and as such should be manageable to alterations. Is it...

Thanks for your reply. I'm aware of the differences and I realize that I have a lot of work ahead of me ;-) I'm not sure what the difference is in the fuselage structure except the rudder was bigger on the Mk.IX and the wings shouldn't be taht much of a problem. See, the blisters for the...

Alright, you asked for it... Here I am... I did look a lot "prettier" after the Margarita had been "downed"

I've bought a spitfire Mk.IXc (balsa wood) r/c. 1:7 scale. After some thoughts, I've decided to make it into a Mk.Ia and make it a display model rather than fly with it. In this scale there should be plenty of room to nurse all the fancy details. I'm looking for drawings showing the Flight...
