Hi guys, Last Saturday, I obtained Kitty Hawks F-86D Sabre-Dog. Since it builds into a pretty large and impressive model I have some questions on cockpit details that will be pretty visible on the model. So if you know your Dog Sabres, please help! 1. It seems that aiming and firing the rocket-armament was exclusively done through info presented on the radarscope? Didn't the aircraft have a back-up sight on top of the instrument panel/coaming? 2. Was the hood on the radar scope usually mounted on the scope or was it stowed some place and only fitted (in flight or before the flight) if conditions warranted it? The hood might often accidentally be knocked off by knees and legs of pilots entering or exiting the aircraft? 3. I'm looking for a/some photo(s) of the shelf behind the ejection seat under the open canopy. It features some black boxes and air/hydraulic reservoirs. I have a feeling that the Kitty Hawk depiction is a bit simplified. Thanks in advance for your assistance, Best regards, Erik.
