P-47 Instrument panel project UPDATE

Hello
After building the 1:1 full scale instrument panels of a Me 109G-10 and Spitfire MkIX fitted with their original instruments I have picked up the idea of building that one of a P-47D. I've been searching for a while now and I find it hard to find a 1:1 technical drawing of a P-47 instrument panel that I can use for this project. I have used the technical 1:1 drawings with the Me 109 and Spitfire panels.
I'm hoping that through this way somebody is able to help me in finding such (a) drawing(s). I am willing to exchange info regarding the 109 and Spitfire panels.
These panels will be used in our exhibitions of the Aircraft Research Group Achterhoek in the Netherlands. A foundation that is researching the airwar over Holland.
Included is a photo of the 109 panel which is near completion now, just two instruments, switches and controll lights left to find.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Regards
Sander

P-47 Instrument panel project update

Hello,

I was able to produce this panel after re-calculating several drawings since I didn't find the full scale drawing.
Just need to find a few more instruments and a gunsight.
This panel will be supporting the recovery results of P-47D 43-25515 UN-T of the 56th FG/63rd FS. If I'm correct this Jug was fitted with the Mk8 gunsight, or was it re-fitted with the gyro gunsight? I am currently looking for info on the Mk8 gunsight. It would be very appreciated if anyone can provide any info.

For any help many thanks in advance,

Kind regards from Holland,

Sander
