ChuckT Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) I have the special hobby He 100 kit and was thinking about adding some extra detail to the cockpit area (at least). I know cockpit pics of this aircraft are few to none, so I was wondering if it would be a logical assumption to think that many of the cockpit details regarding general layout and items found in the He 100 would be at least similar to the He 112? What do you guys think? If that is a logical assumption, I can search for He 112 cockpit pics and drawings to come up with rough idea of what the He 100 cockpit would have looked like.

thierry laurent Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 In a simple word: no. Just to give you a comparison: have a look at the cockpit of a Me 109E and a F and keep in mind this is just an evolution of the same airframe. The He100 was an experimental plane whereas the 112 reached a short production status and was intended to be a front line plane. Last, the rare pictures of both planes confirm such obvious differences between both planes. This does not mean you cannot be inspired by such pictures but take care as the contents and location of items were different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'll try to get the port side done per the photo, and busy up the starboard side. At least no one can tell me I'm wrong. I wonder if there is a He 100 sitting in some warehouse, shoved into a dark corner somewhere. MikeMaben and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I can remember reading somewhere that the He-100 had 25 warning lights somewhere, one for each coolant pump. Of course.... the person who flew it didn't say where they were. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I read somewhere that the last one was in Russia. I think we woulda heard about if it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Would make sense to put them on stbd side. Maybe a row for port, and a row for starboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they look far too small for 1940's technology - how would you change a faulty bulb? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 That would be many more rivets than needed for a panel. If they're rivets they look like button heads , odd for a cockpit panel. Those could be plastic lenses with the light bulbs below the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, I think your second proposal is very probably the correct one. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
