I think I've found one, this instrument is in both the Spitfire and the Hurricane:



In the center of the Turn and Slip face it should say 'AM' below the crown, not 'AN'. 'AM' stands for 'Air Ministry' and this type of marking is found on everything from aircraft instruments to flying gloves, there were different styles but usually appeared in the form of 'A <crown> M'

Here it is on the placard from a late war radio management box:

I doubt that there was "km/St" standing and I've never seen it before. Rather "km/h" for "Kilometer pro Stunde (Kilometers per hour)" in both cases is right.

edit2: after some discussion in german community I have to agree that there were both variations on the same dashboard. Weird but true.

edit3: I would highly recommend to use "DIN 1451 Fette Engschrift" and "DIN 1451 Fette Mittelschrift" for descriptions on the tin plates. Both fonts I have uploaded to your FTP server some weeks ago.

We may see in different WWII time signs diferent things comparing to modern time.
everla tiome in the past someone said me that we have icorrect German on the signs. Then I was need to show how it was in reality... that German Language has been changed from WWII time and some words are now we may see written by other way... that all German original Aviattion terms were going in history and replaced by american terms.

I will check with Pressure, hower I think others - simply repainted photocopy of real.

PS. I have some german trials of aircraft. Some terms there in formulas now even Germans that works in aviation weren't able to traslate (Orignal German terms that are now replaced by English)

Ok with the "km/St"-"km/h"-difference, we've already discussed it in german forums and it is correct. However, some of the terms are wrong (Preßure, vollständing, drucken etc.) have to be corrected. And I'm quite familiar with german terms of that time
Perhaps you can send me a closer screenshot of german dashbords so we can check the correct spelling.
Please consider to use the ttf fonts I've uploaded to my folder on your ftp.

It is Preßluft not Pressure:



By the second there is no Error, from a Orginal Bf110G4-Cockpit:

Stunning! Especially the cockpits
Can't wait Oleg. Soooon please!

I am not going to descend into the double-entendres surrounding your new modeller Olga.

However, I would like to say at this point that we are an equal opportunities Squadron and we are recruiting.
