Two images.  First is the NASM FW190F8 cockpit and the second is a drawing of the layout of a 190A8 cockpit.

Hope it helps

Oops, my mistake. I looked at the color image I posted and looked one low.

Some Finnish guy built a reflection gun sight from old camera objective and other stuff, also somewhere in a web were plans for "Do it yourself" men how to build a reflection sight.

What does he use this for exactly?  I bet he has it mounted on his wittle VW Bug and has a serious road rage problem, so he targets other cars on the highway that piss him off.  :D

Shows innovation on his part though, I guess.
