Hey Geedee,
I'm in Colorado and building the same thing. Your a little bit ahead of me but we r headed in the same direction. But do tell, where did you get the dimentions? And please, please tell me how you built the canopy bow? I'm stuck there and can't figure it out. And is that plexiglass or glass you used for the windscreen? Hey I know a guy here in the U.S. that can build u a working panel, but I'd bet you have the same resources there in the UK. I plan on having full working panel, wrap around visual and motion systems. The -51 Rocks!!

Re: P-51D Cockpit Project
Strewth...2 and a bit years since my last update...that's nowhere near good enough !.
I do apologize also as since losing my photobucket account (not paying 'em !), all the pics of my build have disappeared as well.
So, where am I now ?. Since my last message, my '51 has been to loads of displays around the UK and I'm still looking for, and getting those elusive parts I want. For example, its only taken me 15 years, but when I came back from the States in Sept, I had acquired an original throttle quadrant that will be going into my Babe over this winter. Speaking of Winter, she's going to be gutted and rebuilt as I'm not happy with lots of little things which on their own are acceptable, but as a whole could be a lot better !!.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to add pics without using photobucket.
Edited...Aha !....success...quick test shot of me enjoying the view a few years ago
And bl**dy well done to Stang for your drawing thread, I shall be using some of your pic's to help with the rebuild .

Re: P-51D Cockpit Project
Thanks for the kind words GeeDee,
Your cockpit was one of the initial ones that inspired me to develop the P-51D Cockpit Plans.
Let me know if you need a set of the plans.

Re: P-51D Cockpit Project
Any chance of recovering the photos? I'm gearing up to build one of these and the more information the better.
Thx.
