Can anyone ID this cockpit?

The person who posted it said her son was allowed up into the cockpit of an airliner prior to take-off.  She commented that she didn't think they were allowed to do that, anymore.  Well, this doesn't look like any current airliner to me.  And isn't that a windshield cover?  The interior lighting makes me think this was a ground display.  With that color of the IP, it looks positively Soviet to me but I noticed the English writing here and there?

Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

If the throttle quadrant was visible, might narrow it down a bit.  But I'm thinking Tu-154, but don't quote me on that

DC-9-50. Delta still flies them.

I'd go with a DC9 variant too, that 'three window' windscreen is pretty distinctive. They must have had the cockpit re-painted in Kiev or Leningrad though.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
