Original Parts

Used instruments to be installed in the front panel instead the actual ones...

Panel - Armament HUD Control Panel

Chose this panel because it only has one type of switches, secondly this was my first time so also wanted to practice on something simpler.

Used 1/4" thk MDF sheet, first drafted on CAD. Pasted the print out on the base plate, used a hand drill to make holes as required; as you can see they arnt precise nor neat due to the use of hand drill instead of using a floor and table mounted one will be getting that soon though. 


Mounted another sheet on the base plate which would later make a top sheet, made holes... sand papered it. This was drilled carefully as it had to show on top.

Placed switches just to see how it looks...


Painted it black...
