Il-2 Cockpit Photos/Diagrams

[Gnomey]

I am looking for detail pics or diagrams of the Il-2 cockpit. I have found this one but it is in Russian so I can't understand it and also have screens of the cockpit from the game. Anymore would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Here is what I have so far:

Hi Gnomey,

There is a IL-2 Stormovik manual in the manual section, Lots of pictures of gauges and such in the manual. Sorry its all in russian but maybe it will help.

I will download it and have a look. It should be useful but some diagrams in English (or German) would be nice as well.

Thanks Micdrow. I don't see that photo you just posted though :\

I don't see that photo you just posted though :\[/QUOTE]

Try the picture now

 

[Gnomey]

Can see it now thanks. The manual is good but the cockpit diagram is the same as the one I have already found.

The only other picture I could find was this one. I thought I had a diagram for a IL-2 gauge layout in english but turned out to be for a Yak 9.

Hopefully the pictures help.

Unfortunately,the pic of the cockpit above is of the I-185 fighter.
There drawings of the Il-2 cockpit.I hope it was also helpful for you, Gnomey.
If I find free time I try to translate the Russian descriptions in your colour diagram.

Very nice Wurger, thank you. Now to find an understandable labled diagram (not Russian)

Hi !!!
As you requested there is the English version.I hope I've done it in a proper way.I mean, I've translated it using the English grammar rules and it'll be understandable.

Thank you so much Wurger, that is great

why is it the insides of so many aircraft are that cream/green colour is that just a coat of primer or something?

 

[Wurger]

No,I think that it is caused by the old publications limits in colours..

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no most British aircraft atleast are a similar colour.........

 

[Wurger]

In pictures or in reality ? 'Cos I didn't catch ,what you had in mind.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

in reality they're that colour.........

 

[Wurger]

I've caught.Unfortunately I can agree with you partially only.As far as the Russian planes are concerned their cockpits were painted with light grey colour ( Humbrol 64 for instance) and in early a/cs the instrument panels were painted on the same colour.So the cream colour could be an effect of mixture the light grey AJe-9 with the yellow primer ALG-9 for wooden parts or ALG-1 for the aluminium ones.From 1941 the metal parts were painted with yellow-grey colour (50% ALG-1 + 50% A-14)

You are welcome Lanc. But you have already known about it, for sure.
