P-38J control panel covers.........Were they made out of a canvas type material that covered the instrument panel? Some photos it seems that way.
I need to know what the control panel cover would look like if viewing the P-38 from outside, but in flight.....

Any suggestions/photos/refs would be grafefull reveived.

This is for a painting project and not a model, so hope it's okay to ask this here.

Regards,
Prop

Hmmmmm, check out uscockpits.com. Lots of pics of older and new cockpits and panels in it.

Weird thing is, is that they don't work on mine either!

They worked for me. I just cut and pasted in a new window, and the pics came right up.
