Ansaldo SVA 10 Cockpit?

Can someone please post a pic, or post an internet link to, pictures of the SVA10's cockpit interior?
TIA
Please, please don't reply just to say that Datafile #122 has them; if i could afford to buy one, I would have! :-(

Checking files I didn't find much, WD#122 would be a partial answer only, as Palli/d'Annunzio's 12736 front cockpit shown. For a late versions you may ask our friend Paolo for a help, depends of version you're looking for. On S.V.A. 5 the best walk-arounds can be found at Fotografie aeronautiche and Ansaldo Balilla - SVA 5 #11721 pages.

Cheers MP

SVA 10 c/p

Thanks Miroslav,
I'm actually trying to do a late (post-war) SVA 10; I suspect I'll just have to 'guesstimate' the interior I imagine the SVA 10's front pit was very similar to that of the SVA5 (Many thanks for the link, BTW), while I image that the rear gunner's position would have had little more than a stool & some racks for the spare gun magazines.

The SVA 10 kit by Chorozsy pretty detailed, but no substantial differences between SVA 9 and SVA 10. Years ago at Diego's Fernetti SVA aircraft shown SVA 10 relics at Liceo Aeronáutico Militar Fuerza, but pics don't seem to work anymore. GAVS Torino mounted a machine gun on Alenia's SVA 9 last year or so, have look at info Cheers Miroslav

Hi John, (and Mirek & Paolo)

in the Classified Ads you could find some info the SVA 10 manual. It has a very good (but not excellent) pic of the cockpit area taken from the rear. let me know if you could be interested in a copy.

cheers

Paolo

SVA 10 pit

Thanks all!
There's enough posted there for me to detail the SVA10's interior to the best of my somewhat limited ability!
