Today I have opened my Tamiya 1/48th A1H Skyraider along with the KMC update set to turn it into a USAF Vietnam aircraft. You can imagine how I felt when Tamiya released the USAF one later.
I have just had a hankering to use this model as a fill in until I start my 1/32 Tamiya F16CJ.

I wonder if anybody can point me in the direction of some colour pictures that show some of the detail of the cockpit side panels, just to try and make a proper representation.
I have found a good number that show the detail of the instrument panel and Escapac seat already, but details of the others elude me.

Many thanks in advance.

I found a great site and didn't book mark it - if you look in the large thread entitled catalina..... i think i left a link to it in there - but i can't remember which of the 25 pages it's on.

I will have a look later and give more info.

Andy,
Many thanks, this is excellent and was the one that I have found the instrument panel pictures and general impression, but I am having trouble finding any references to the Side panels, with throttles and other controls. I am just trying to get a handle on the colours of the various switches etc to add a little colour.

Thanks for looking.
