Andrew D Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Is (was) the rear cockpit of the F-89D similar to the J? I thought it might have been, until yesterday. I got the Pavla F-89D/J cockpit set, and the instructions are confusing. Although it's supposed to be for the D/J, the instructions claim the two choices of rear instrument panels are for the D and the C (I repeat, the set was supposed to be for the D & J). Furthermore, the "J"-looking panel with the large scope is claimed to be the "C", and the very simple panel, no scope, is claimed to be for the D. So, I'm confused. I have the Squadron Walkaround book on the Scorpion, but the cockpit photos *seem* to show retired J 'pits (not well labeled as far as subtype).

Andrew D Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Got it now, thanks! Can now confirm the Pavla instructions are incorrect; the "D" rear panel is actually correct, and the claimed "C" panel is the "J". I guess I figured the D and J would be similar since the J was an upgraded D (kinda like the Navy F-4B/N and J/S). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Pete Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I looked in my Aerofax book, and R11 seems to be correct for an early D, while R12 looks like a late model D or J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
