I found my Phantom book, but nothing of the cockpits at all. It is a very old Squadron "In Action". However, check this website: http://aviation.watergeek.eu/f4b-panel.html And this: http://www.ejectionsite.com/f4seat.htm

This one is of an RAF FGR2 but at least shows the sidewall..... http://cyberplasticmodeler.blogspot.com/2013/09/cockpit-walkaround-vol2-mcdonnell.html

Hopefully this helps with the panel and I'll keep looking for other rear seat items.

More work today and kit finally stand on its leg. There is remained some of details to be add and this will be few hours job and then will focus on the ejection seats and equipment under the wings. In order to complete kit as on archive image I need to dig out my spare box and see if I have two Mk. 83 retarded bombs.

Work on seats take a lot of time due to their complexity and next step is work with this fabric seat belts  :-danger
