Hi all
working on the instruments still, have been trying various methods of printing out the faceplates ie from scans, photos, bmps from the sim etc but not really totally happy with the results.
wondered if there was anyone out there who had spare faceplates laying around unused after making up one of the Simkit units? Their website says they supply 74 different faces with each unit so I thought there might be some unused ones available - they don't sell them seperately - I tried.
just a thought anyway
cheers
could swap for a bundle of NZ charts or some Jepp approach plates if anyone interested...

Sounds like they are "missing the boat" by not selling the faceplates separately.
Never used them so no luck here. Sorry.
best,

I did mine like Juan. Take these panels and print them to the appropriate size.
Put your cursor over the panel that you need and save and print.
http://users.skynet.be/jcordon/cockpit/panels.htm
The first copy is for the capt and the second copy is for the co.pilot
I make 4 copies of each. 2 of them printed in black and 2 printed in boeing grey. Take the black copy and aline it behind the grey copy and glueing them together. It is very important that the
font
lined up perfectly. To check this put a flash light behing the 2 copies before cluing them to set the alingment. Cut a piece of thin plexi glasse to the shape of the panel . Drill the holes for the roteries ,place scews and your done.Check out how he does his.
Thanks to Juan for sharing his hard work. I did mine the same way and i`m very happy with the outcome. VERY CHEAP.
Heres some of my work.
