I can do the same with balsa with what I have on hand, only thing I need is a variety of woods. No need for exotic materials to get a very precise cockpit? Okay looks like I have a new project/challenge. The way I do it is use simple balsa sheets for layout then use a combo of glue/dowels to make switches and knobs. Raised panels are done with different thickness paper materials. Finally paint and some small printed display decals.

How many hours.... or weeks do you think you'll spend on it?
