Would anyone happen to have cockpit photos for a Curtiss F11C Goshawk? I'm attempting to build an ancient Lindberg kit, and it has no cockpit details to speak of, save for a seat. I'll need to scratch most of it. Any pictures/drawings would be greatly appreciated-

Thanx-
Mark

Hello Mark and welcome to the Early Aviation title. TheF11C was the Army version right? I know that a Naval version , the BFC 2 is on static display here. They maybe able to give you a helping hand.

Classic Airframes sold a scale 1/48 (?) kit of the F 11 Goshawk. It may have details someone here can provide.

Stephen, thanks a bunch. I followed your link and contacted the Naval Museum, and a rep sent me not just one or two, but 19 quality digital photos of the cockpit.

Thanks again-
Mark
