Hey Guys

I've been collecting P-39 parts and instruments for a while now and am nearing completion of my instrument collection, then it's just panel construction and installing of instruments.
I only need 3 more instruments before I can get the panel made.
I have attached a photo pf Galloping Gertie (my panel will be almost exactly the same), with the 3 inst circled.
All thats needed is the 0-700 airspeed
RPM, I have a 0-45 but it appears to be P-40, will trade it if need be
and the fuel gauge.
Also could use the handles but thats a long shot.
Have spares of most instruments in the panel so I am willing to trade :)

Noticed Don Keller has some odds & ends for a P-39 cockpit. Anything you can use?

I think Kevin in Arizona has fuel quantity gauges --- sbd3dauntless@mchsi.com. Or simply look for "P-39 gauge" on eBay.
