Jonas, there is a great model building resource online and I can't recall
what it's called. :(  I bought nearly all the Bf-109 info they had,
including a couple of nice photo packs.  The data is aimed at the model
builder, but there's enough there for a cockpit.

When I get home tonight I'll post the address of the site.

The http://www.bf109.com site has a LOT of good data.  Unfortunately, it
hasn't been updated for quite some time.  Maybe you can reach the site
admin and get him to start updating again. :)

For other than gross dimensions, you're going to have to scale up existing
drawings of the aircraft.  One of the sheets that you can buy is a 1/72nd
three-view drawing of an Emil that can be easily used to get the cockpit
former shapes from.

A Bf-109E4 is on my list of cockpits to build so I'm anxious to see how
you do yours. :)
