Not a common subject, but a quick look found this

That's the closest I found.

yes, that is a decent view, but needs deciphering.

I have a huge book by Yefim Gordon about all the Suchoi OKB planes, but nothing in the cockpit.

Thanks

I have some MiG-21 Cockpit photos in the old kartonbau.de gallery

Should be similar to Su-9 and the gun sight looks identical.

Here are some of the Su-7 and the 7 and the 9 were very close. I hope these help! Keep up the great work.

I decided to work on the landing gear. It needed some strong support so I used CA glue ( Cyno Acrylate ) in some locations. I had a little problem with the glue tube and it leaked on my fingers. Good thing it did not drip on the plane. I stoped all work to make sure I did not and will not damage the plane. I will re start tomorrow after I get a new tube of glue.

It is coming along slow, but OK.

Cheers

I restarted my effort on the landing gear. Here are some pics

The mains are done, and I am working on the nose gear.

Also made progress on the missile pylons and the canopy. That's later

Cheers

Helo Isaac,

The model is looking very good and detailed. Didn't fined any good cockpit picture, but hope that this drawing will help.

Waiting to see more of this model,

Shalom Mor

Shalom

This is a good set of sketches. I will study it. Not sure how much more detail I will add inside the cockpit. I will add the gun reflector, although from what I see most SU-9 only carried missiles.

Toda raba / Domo Arrigato / Thank you

More pics of the gears in progress

I need to paint the wheels and glue on the hubs

I ran out of paint for the wheels and need to purchase some more. So I decided to finish installing the speed brakes. Only note I can add to these simple parts is that the panels have to be rounded to conform to the cylindrical fueslage. They are not flat panels.
