Nocoolname Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi Folks! I've been trying to track down pictures of the cockpit from the F.2 prototype to help guide my build but I've found it impossible to find anything reliable and even the 'Google' can't seem to help. I had wondered whether it was a significant departure on the cockpit for the GR.1 and whether some AMS for the latter could be used as a suitable base, such as the cockpit PE or even the Czech Masters resin? Any thoughts, suggestions would be most appreciated. Cheers for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 IIRC it had the different display screen config for the rear seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocoolname Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Another later F.2 prototype fit John Hi John These and the ones on your post above are fantastic! Thank you so much!! I'm now trying to think around the best way of doing the cockpit. I'm going for the earliest of the prototypes (ZA-254). I had thought about using a modified set of Eduard PE but I'm struggling to find any that have the layout that I could work with. F3 and ADV seem (to my eyes at least) to be off the mark in terms of where the controls are, especially on the side panels. The stock cockpit for the Italeri kit doesn't appear to be much help either so what I'm thinking now is whether I can file down the main parts of the cockpit and create some of my own decals to represent the panels that might have been present. I'm stuck at home with the lurgy today so will take the opportunity to break out the pencils and try a few drafts. Many thanks for the help with this, its very much appreciated!
