Looks like this airplane has relatively all-new guages... and DEFINITELY new radios  (c:

Most of the warbirds I have seen have been similarly updated.

Nice detail pics of the knobs/trims etc.

guessing the seat looks different because the armour plating has been removed?

It's a totally different seat, which is not surprising considering the "factory-equipped" one was designed with the idea that the pilot would have a dingy and a parachute strapped to his back (it was literally a "bucket seat").

Seat is not WWII factory seat. This one is post war modified.

Instrument panel is also post-war modified. K14 gunsight has been removed and the 3 gauges have been put into its place and that compass is jet era.

Actually, that whole instrument panel is post-war. Some gauges look to be original, but the panel itself, and at least 2 of those gauges are post war, not to mention that the dash-mounted radio appears to be solid-state technology with digital display.

In any event, great pics!
