Que hermosa, Sera.
From what I can see, the instrument lettering is very sharp, also.

Hello!
I have a problem with the views of the wings and the motors, I changed with the 3dzstudio program the file pm410Y.3dz, I see the changes that I carry out, but these changes overcome with the wing and original motor of the 410 that I believe it is the same of the bf-110.
Is that this way?
Is there form of making disappear the wing and the original motor, for alone to leave the one that I changed?

Thatīs a most remarkable cockpit cheers

The view downwards through the nose glazing is superb. The gauges on separate mountings need completeion, but are well depicted. Thereīs an additional window in the cockpit floor just in front of the control column looking down the bomb bay which allowed the pilot to locate the target once the bomb doors were open. Could this feature be triggered when preparing the weapons?

Hello Fran!!!
Do you refer to the version A3? that you uses as recognition.
The cockpit that I am creating is of the version A2, it hunts interceptor aun version A1 its bombardier.
There were several versions, night with antennas in the nose, and one with a great weapon in the nose also, those versions have some elements different to the version Now A1 that I am creating, alone I am working in the version A1, when it finishes it I will begin to work with the other variants.
Thank you for their appreciations they are I very useful to continue ahead with my work, thank you!

No, Sera, Iīm not referring to the reconnaissance variant with the windows within the bombbay doors. According to my reference material there was a glazed area in the horizontal cockpit floor beginning right in front of the control column (in your case in front of the eight floor gauges) and ending at the lower end of the nose glazing (also featured already by your cockpit. When the bomb bay was closed the pilot looked into the dark of the bomb bay, but when he opened the bay doors commencing the attack there must have been an excellent sight downwards for better aiming. Here you can see the opening in a scale model just between the pilotīs feet. Here itīs open, in original there was a glass panel:

Saw this feature just recently in my ref material - didnīt know about this. Would be a nice feature to get this sight...

You can see the window clearly in this shot between the pedals:



By the way, I have completed my research on the Ju-87, and I am making the rest of the gauges I needed for it. Should be ready soon!
