Yes, call up my links page of personal sites and then search for instrument panels. You should see it. If not, PM me and I will give you the exact link. This is how I make my instrument panels

Ever thought of building your own? Search the web for aircraft avionics. Most places have images of instruments with relatively straight on shots of their instuments. Edit these in a photo program to the size desired.

Cut your dash out of 1/32 ply. Make two of them.
Lay your gauges out.
Mark their location and drill holes of the correct size where gauges would be located in one of them.

Glue the drilled panel on top of the second

glue your gauges into the recesses of the top panel or sandwich them before gluing the two panels together.

Mixup some fresh epoxy and fill in the recess. When this dries you have a clear lens and a great looking dash.

I have not tried this yet. I was told about this method by a fellow modeler and his results were out standing.

I couldn't find the link on your web page, perhaps you could post the link on this thread so that others can find it.

Thanks

I made my own. I made my own instruments then pasted them into a panel I made. Took like 4 hours.

If you have any of the microsoft flight simulators you can get some nice panels there. Do a "Print screen" when you have a panel you like and take it from there.

JakeInHartsel, BA30 had the site listed.
I make all my panels from this site.

I have been trying to use the epanelbuilder website, but when I build my panel and do a print preview, the instruments and panel do not line up. Am I doing something wrong?

The answer is to align the instruments on the panel with the Window downsized instead of full sized. For some reason it worked this way for me. It may take a few tries to get the proper window sizing, but check the work using the print preview function and keep changing the size of your viewing window until everything lines up properly.

Tri-stan - Got it! Thanks for the help.... I would have never thought of resizing the window. It tried it and it works great.
