RAF P-40B Control Column

Hi Edgar great find...thanks

In the iwmcollections Tomahawk photo you can ever see the Sutton harnesses so its a very safe bet

have you come across anything on cockpit colors?

An this point im very inclined to go with Nick Millman's Du-Pont 71-036 reinforced by the color Google life P40/Tomakawks photos

However these also seem to show the upper armor plate as "yellow ZC"... also from iwmcollections cockpit photo and the handbook photo you posted..the support bar below the panal and rudder pedal look to be the lighter "yellow ZC"

And from my post above the color photo of the seat (upper far right) that looks to be a darker green then Du-Pont 71-036 ..almost the same as the exterior camo "Dark Green" used on the Tomahawk...odd

So at this point my Tomahawk (and AVG "Flying Tigers") cockpit colors are

overall Du-Pont 71-036

upper armor plate, support bar below the front panal & rudder pedals "yellow ZC"

headrest Black

Seat exterior camo "Dark Green"

Yes I know it out side the conventional thinking and its all subject to change depending on new info
