Thats some office Grahame,and one that Pete will be quite at home in,for a WW1 panel it is fairly complex and there is a most un-usual feature that I wonder if many have spotted ? the fact that the instrument panel slopes,this is unusual in that most gyro instruments function best in the upright position,but the proof is there as the panel certainly has a slant to it,perhaps this could be something to do with the flying attitude of the aircraft in flight,who knows ?
The panel and cockpit itself is a model in its own rights and just know that you will do full justice to this important feature.
There are some un-usual features there including the advance and retard lever.
Best of luck with the instruments,they should present a real challenge to ingenuity and application.
