P-47D Razor interior photo/plan needed

Has anyone got a photo or diagram that can show me how the gun sight looks from the front and just outside the '47D? Alternatively, a front shot from inside the '47, so I can see the control panel and gun sight?

Regards,

Re: P-47D Razor interior photo/plan needed

Have you tried digging through the galleries of www.web-birds.com and www.littlefriends.co.uk yet? You're bound to find some close-up photos of pilots sitting in their cockpits, also revealing the gunsight (although this was often covered for security reasons!).

Here's one: http://www.web-birds.com/8th/56/61st/Gabreski.JPG

Hmmm not really. I do have a few ongoing jobs, but barely the time to work on them. It's a pity I can't make a living out of it, otherwise I'd leave my daytime job in the blink of an eye!


PS. I just realised the Gabreski link doesn't work properly ("forbidden"). Just go to the 56th FG page on web-birds and you'll find it there.
