I recently rediscovered in my collection an old Hasegawa kit--the G8N Rita. Does anyone have any links to a cockpit diagram of this aircraft? I need all the help I can get!!

You will have to rely on imagination and creativity. AFAIK, there are no cockpit pix. But IIRC, Ritz borrowed heavily from the Douglas DC-4. I would just look at some pix of Japanese bomber cockpits and US 4-engine cockpits, and take it from there.

BTW, here's a YouTube video of Rita's 1st flight

There are a few pics and diagrams in Monogram's Japanese Cockpit Interiors.

Cheers,
