Undercarriage indicator should look like this:

Note: not all are the same but I would expect the instrument face to say 12 VOLT, not WAIT.

A quick run through the first few pages of google image search seems to indicate that he is right. Here's another example that seems to prove it.

from what i can see oleg's version says "WAIT" not WATT, one possible speculation is that maybe an earlier/later version of the same dial has a warning/reminder about the delay in moving gear up and down after activating the control ?

hopefully some experten here will have more factual knowledge on this

either way, i'd call that a very minor decorative issue, but well spotted

Actually I think it's a double mistake. "WATT" is wrong, and it's wrongly written too, as "WAIT". It should be "VOLT".

There seems to be a bit of variation in dials used.

This is another undicarrage indicator that is advertised as an "original" Hurricane undercarrage indicator.

You will notice that the arc at the top of the dial is not broken in the instrument modeled in the Hurricane, this would indicate to me that the indicator is of a different version to both types shown.

Cheers!

Could be another variant, but what it also glaringly obvious is lack of lamp illumination.

I think it very unlikely, at the moment of engaging the 111, the pilot decides to drop his gear.
The RED indicator should be glowing even slightly.

I think it is simply not working when this image was taken.

It is corrected earlier, but not inserted yet. In release will be "12 volt".
Simply originally used photos from Soviet archive where this sign was more damagaed than readable.
Don't worry.
Cockpit of hurry still is polishing. There is several details that became know better just couple of month ago. Should be ready on this week or so.

PS. I simply can't check each aircraft cockpit. I know very well just couple of aircraft cockpits.
12 Volt measn that this gaige working voltage is 12 V. On most indicators such info present from the back side, not on the front. My guys simeply wasn't able to identify what is half damaged on the gauge...

Thanks for replying Oleg. Great to see communication immediately works when the critic is polite and well backed up with documentation.
