Closeup F4U-1A Cockpit Pictures Needed

Greetings,

I'm looking for detailed, closeup cockpit pictures for the F4U-1A Corsair. I'm building a 1/6 scale radio controlled version of #3, flown by Lt. jg Jim Streig who flew with VF-17 (Jolly Rogers).



I'm having a difficult time finding the information I need in order to recreate the detail I want.

For example, I need to be able to read the labels, placards, decals, etc for the switches and breakers. I also need to be able to see how the radio gear was installed.

I have many pictures, manuals, drawings, etc for other Corsair variants such as the -1D and -5 but very little for the 1A.

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. my email is rwright142 at yahoo dot com.

Thanks, I appreciate your post - I haven't seen all of those.

What I have not been able to find is closeups of the switch/breaker panel layout that is highlighted in this picture:


I found a wiring diagram so I came up with this. I think it is close:


Here is the cockpit as it is now:




It's taking shape.

Thanks again!

Well done.
I don't like Corsairs the most.
