Status: offline 		Tim,
Are you making the radio boxes up from styrene sheet, rod, etc? Looks great! Do you just eye-ball the dimensions from photos and ratio them to features in the area that you can scale to the area in your fuselage? Or do you get scientific about it and have data for the dimensions of the radios and scale them accordingly?

Status: offline 		Your detail is amazing. Any chance you can post the actual interior pictures along with your project pictures? It would be neat to see a side-by-side comparison.
