Irish Vampire dashboard

Hi guys,
Just working on Classic Airframe Vampire in 1/48 and run into troubles straight from the start: I have a very good photograph taken in August of 2007 of the vampire interior and the kit dashboard is totally different to the one in IAC machines
.
I can redo the dials and switches, but there are some brackets on the top on both sides of the Irish Vampire dashboard... are these for gunsights?
And would anyone have a picture of those fitted?
Thanks

Hi FiSe,
The Vampires had reflector gunsights above the instrument panel,--- looking at that panel brings me back, way back!
Regards.

Thanks,
There's only one gunsight in the kit reincarnation of the panel /on the right hand side/, but I don't know on which aircraft this kit is based on. Wheels are for Australian AF though...
It's amazing how many differencies coud be find on the 'same' dashboard of the same aircraft built for different users.

I think 187, with faded and chipped orange/red day-glo areas - although T.11, No.198, in her RAF marking is tempting too - but it's a very, very long way to go yet
