Hi there.
I'm building a 1/8 scale racing U-95 and have been searching for a cockpit/dashboard layout for it. I haven't been able to find any images of it on the web & was hoping that the Museum might have one in its archives somewhere.
Also the emblem on the fin in the attached picture if at all possible as I can't find a clear image of that either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Great website by the way. Lots of interesting articles & photos.
Many thanks.

I believe the emblem is the Air force emblem, I'll try to post a pic here.

Now it's just the dashboard layout to find.
All the best.
Paul.

There are heaps of different ones at Zazzle but the one I ordered is the top right on this page.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any images of the dash board. So any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
A photo, image or a hand drawn sketch would be enough for me to build up a dash that would be passable.
If you , or anyone else is interested, here's a bit of a build thread over on R/C Groups.
