Backtheattack Posted September 1, 2015 Great idea for a display. Would look great as a "cut-off" cockpit. But open as it still is it looks very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cobrahistorian Posted September 18, 2016 I'm inspired! Just got partial control panels from 42-22521 and 42-75284 and will be able to make a single panel from them. I've got a seat harness and I'm now starting to look for other cockpit parts. J In memory of 1LT Julius C. Goldman, XO of F/330th, 83rd Infantry Division 1944-45. Come see what's new at the US Army Air Defense Artillery Museum on Facebook: US Army ADA Museum Looking for P-47 and Tactical Reconnaissance Unit photographs and any items associated with WWII Jewish fighter pilots. Also seeking photos, documents and associated materials from the 3rd Armored Division and 83rd Infantry Division in January 1945. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
