Bernoullis I have been giving your suggestion on the deck being black some thought and I think I will change it to a scale black
Jim, I have sent you a detailed PM covering this, and more, but I will say here that since Alan's model represents a civilian DC-3 then you can probably be a little less strict about the overall cockpit colours.

Many variations of colour and instrumentation have appeared in the still-airworthy Gooney Birds out there, so just run with something that nicely represents an early version. It was the military variants that tended to have black panels and cockpits .... because that is what Douglas supplied!

As an aside, I understand you West Coast folk have been having a really warm time of it lately? How is it in Glendora? It has been a few months since I flew over your way - we usually stay in Long Beach on the layover. I did once visit Ontario airport, not far from you, just before I left the military.
