Rodolphe, you are such a nitpicker. That being said, I encourage you to keep doing it, because I would do exactly the same if I had such a vast knowledge of WWII aeroplane systems and details like you. Also, I'm 100% sure that when Oleg and co. get the first version out, you will be listened to, and the errors fixed. Thank you.

i have to say your calm, knowledge packed approach to improving certain details impresses me greatly.

no nonsense, pointers verified by period photos.

bravo.

now lets see if the monkeys that bash on keyboards whilst screaming at the monitor can learn from your example?

The fuel contents gauge on the starboard side of the instrument panel indicates the contents of the bottom tank (37 gallons)

8. Reflector Sight Spare Lamps

Gosh ! when I'll get back on the ground, I need to ask Davy, the fitter/rigger to have those Spare Bulbs replaced.

9.Instrument Digit Colours Disregard, see post #26 below

Less important details (not significant)


On the 'Oil Pressure' gauge, some figures (120 - 60) and main dashes are painted in Orange Fluorescence colour.
Check the 'Fuel Pressure' gauge (0-2-4) , the 'Radiator Temperature' gauge (60-80-100-120-140), the 'Boost' gauge Etc ...

I've got a length of this, albeit repro, like the ones shown. Infact, all of these are repro, apart from maybe the legth of rubber-adapter.
I sent Oleg a lot of reference for RAF flight kit, which he's used. Some of these pictures I sent him! (although not these exact ones). great posting(s) thanks!
