 I'm seriously looking to locate an early model DC3 Instrument Panel similar to this. Can be barren. They varied a lot of course. I'm not after a later or heavily modified panel, but something akin to this. REWARD offered for a successful lead. Sincerely would appreciate the eyes and ears of the forum working toward a success with this. Cheers Peter (aeromedia) |

Convinced theres got to be one of these lying somewhere.
Any leads on this or any DC3 cockpit bits including pedals, yokes, control pedestal, instruments etc really appreciated. For a legit project.
Cheers

Cheers Not if they still had them or if they would consider a sale but in the 80s Obiwan27 and myself helped to stripped out the remains of the cockpit of NZ3518/ZK-BEU. This was in the old restoration area at 7 Hangar This included the panel, control columns and yokes, throttle pedestal , rudder pedals etc etc. And man did she stink! Fortunately the smell soon went away! The RNZAF team also brought back the undercarriage but you probably don't need that for a cockpit eh Pete? ;D |

Interesting Baz, a long time ago I know, but can you remember whether the basic panel at that stage was pretty much original like the one I've depicted, or had it been through numerous mods?
