    Sikshoota's 'Mockpit'

    Hello All

    In my intro yesterday, I mentioned I'd post some shots of my older F4U Corsair Mockpit currrently in use as my pc work station & gaming machine. I also mentioned my latest project which is based on another popular WWII 'Warbird', the Focke Wulf model FW 190 A variant.

    The old corsair was fun to create & use but like all things we make into long term pastimes, we long to improve on our earlier ventures.

    I've chosen the FW 190 as it has always held a special spot in my deep interests of WWII Warbirds. Adding to that is that many see the FW series as having one of the more ergonomic & appealing cockpit layouts.

    Anyway, on with the show...

    Cheers n Beers

    Looks like you put a lot of work in on that Corsair cockpit, and the Fw 190 looks interesting. Are you planing to do a full control panel on that one?

    In memory of Flt Lt Tony Hill who, on 5 December 1941, at the request of Doctor R V Jones, successfully photographed a small "Würzburg radar" at Bruneval on the French coast. This from a height of only 200 ft, at high speed, under fire and from a camera mounted obliquely behind the cockpit.

    Hello All
    Thx for the encouraging comments

    Are you planing to do a full control panel on that one?
    Hello Tbolt, yes I am planning on a working inst panel system ...just need to source some appropriate type gauges & associated electronic equipment.


    And dont forget to keep us upto date on the 190 !
    Hello Geedee, updates on the 190 will certainly be posted. Plans only atm but construction will get underway asap ...then there'll be a few more progressive build shots.


    Thx again


    Here's some more random pics...


    Not exactly Chance Vaughts factory, but I did my best at the time...
