Default Modifying 1/4 scale Tiger Moth (Duncan Hutson based..)

I'm buying a used 1/4 scale Tiger Moth (only flown 3 times...) that was built based on Duncan Hutson drawings.

Picture 1

Picture 2

The airplane is in really good conditions but I'm planning to change the color of it. I'm planning to use the red color of the De Havilland Flying School or something like this.



I was wondering if anybody knows were I can get elements for making more real the flight instruments and seats for the pilots. I will also be working on making the landing gear more real.

The plane is currently equipped with a OS 120 engine and I have no plans of changing it yet.

I just want to add some more detail into the building so any tips are more than welcome.
