I'm currently building a WW2 cockpit and need some real dimensions. I have a lot of great reference photos and diagrams - but no actual dimensions. If I can just get some basics, then I can eyeball the rest.

- heigth of seat(front) to floor
- distance from front of seat to instrument panel
- width of cockpit from canopy rail to rail

If anyone has access to a museum piece and a ruler,or plans from a WW2 fighter I would appreciate if you could pass these on to me (and any other dimensions).

bubba,

Try looking through the thread below:

It might give you some leads.

Hi Bubba
I looked through my saved files of aircraft stuff and I found the scale plans for a Me109. These are from a member here that sent them to me for information as he wanted to build a Me109. I haven't heard  from him so if you want a copy you can pm me and I will send them.
The file is a 909kb JPEG which is too large for this thread unless John wants to make an exception here so everyone can get a copy who wants them.

John I suppose I can give these plans out to everyone without the owners permission ? I think the member was the "jolly rodger "  however I haven't seem him post for a long time.

cheers
chuck

hey chuck!

thanks for the info - my computer crapped out on me so I've been away from the post for a while.  but I really would still like that file - my e-mail is on this post (just click my name).

appreciate the help

thanks
Bubba
