Does anyone know of some decent cockpit photos of the Ju-87B online somewhere? The cockpit of the 21st Century Toys kit is quite rudimenary, but as I've mentioned, I intend to suspend my Stukas from the ceiling so I have no desire to do a full, accurate cockpit; that said, however, I can't bring myself to just leave it empty, so as a bare minimum I have to at least fill some of the void with "gizmology."

Hi,

Here you are the B&W pic of early B-1 front cockpit and the instrument panel.:D

Hi Wurger: Many thanks for the photos. I'm using a few photos I've found of resin aftermarket cockpits to improve the sidewalls somewhat. Now I'm on a quest for an acceptable MG-15 to mount in the rear cockpit. You've been a tremendous help and I do appreciate it.

I'm afraid I wasn't very clear in what I meant. I wasn't actually asking about whether to replace the gun with something other than a gun, but rather about whether there might be a better aftermarket gun available than the gun in the kit. Sorry for the confusion.

Ah, no worries, my mistake, I thought your question was a bit odd?:)
 
Okay I have to ask, what is the front sight gizmo? Looks like it accounts for aircraft yaw or some silliness, but silliness certainly was not a German design parameter. Two front post sights? Wings for range estimation (and thus lead)? And leading post has a wider section mid-way down. For close in snap shots? Any help here guys?
 
That's it Wurger. I've either never noticed it before or have never seen such a sight. Any information someone might have would be much appreciated.
