**** DONE: 1/48 C-47A Skytrain - Jet/Recon/Transport GB

[Airframes]

Good work Jerry. Looks like the panel is another part that Trumpeter slightly boobed on - perhaps a later, civilian model? The central area of the panel, as shown in the pic I posted, should house 'George', the autopilot. (that's the part displaying the two large instruments, immediately above the throttle and pitch levers). These are predominant on all military C-47/Dakotas, and on those in civilian service even up to the late 1960s.
But, little will be seen through the cockpit windows once assembled, so no problem.

An impressive panel and the process getting there, nothing short of masterful. Will have to store that one in the memory banks.

Great job on the control panel Jerry.
The colors probably aren't original, but here's a couple of shots off the interior of the C-47 at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo from a couple of years ago when you could still go inside it.
