Useful aircraft instrument selection.



Here is a selection of useful aircraft instruments that I have put together for use by scale modellers,one way to use them is first place the file into a paint programme and scale up or down as required,print the results out onto paper and cut out the required dials,mount these onto a piece of card,then trace the positions of the instruments and make another card fascia punching out the holes for the dials then give this a coat of paint to the required colour,trap a piece of clear film between the lot and glue together,for the rim you can use rubber seals of a suitable size or run a line of thinned PVA glue around using a syringe,small knobs etc can be added from scrap etc.
This is just one of many ways to make instrument panels ( check back in the tutorials for more ideas )
