Hello and thank you for taking your time!
Much appreciated, and a lot of information that I will come back to.

 

The Soviet training film is such a time stamp, thank you Laurent!

The scribd.com link will be very useful, this looks like a very good online source, thanks Jerry!

 

And that 200+ pages walk-around is just brilliant! Thank you Charles!

Now with all this information at hands I realize that I will need to completely rebuild that seat and seat armor (and the rest of the cockpit).

I knew the kit has issues and this again is proving the fact.

 

Interestingly Dragon turned out a 1/48 back in the 90's with a similar rendition:

Maybe HobbyBoss just scaled that up tp 1/18?

The Eduard offering looks much more in line with the referncesyou have posted:

So - that is where I will be heading.

 

Jut still not sure it is worth the time, this is the 1/18 rendition of the throttle leaver in the center...

Thank you fr your time!

Best Regards
