Hi all, looking to make an inexpensive/simple instrument panel for my PAU Sukhoi. I built the dash/panel out of Depron, and I want to lay out a panel and just print it on photo paper.

Anybody have .gif or .bmp or ??? files of common flight instruments/guages that can be arranged in a scale-like manner and re-sized to fit my application?

I am thinking maybe someone has scannned the J-tec (I think?) instruments and saved them?

Any ideas/help is very much appreciated!!

Regards,

Astrohog

That looks good, Sam! But those look like little plastic guages that are glued on/in? I want to do something simpler.

I will try chief, but I thought you had to pay and login or something.

Astrohog....here's a couple I've used in the past. And the finished product ready for install in a 3DHS 87" Extra SHP....and installed.

3mm Depron glare shield & backing for panel.

I went to http://www.airliners.net and just printed photos of Extra 300 instrument panels for my 85" Aeroworks Extra 260 QB . Looks great!

Astrohog, here the list of full scale instrument websites I found mine at for my Edge 540. I can post my photoshop files if that would be of any help. Just let me know since they are on a different computer at another location.

Dude.. That looks great but it also looks like a whole lot more work than printing, cutting and pasting.

Yeah....I think he may have been talking about the 2nd demo in your posts, with the styrene sheet cut out, etc. Both looked great.
