Check here:

Original panel: ₤325
Plans ₤25, but you can download the photograph, use an photoedit software and interpolate measures to get a 1:1 copy.
Or this:

Posters from €40 (1:1), €36 (1:2) or €34 (1:3), and again, you can extrapolate measures.
Here too, the Flight Manual:

I like the challenge to help you.
How do you think to make the gauges? A masked LCD monitor, simkits gauges or DIY gauges?
I am doing some photo editions and Coreldraw drawings, but some of the gauges donīt seems to be standard measures.

I'm not sure on how I will do the gauges yet. A mate is a pc expert and very good with electronics. I'm an engineer, so I enjoy the metalwork aspect behind making the instrument panel and possibly the cockpit for it to sit in. I'm struggling finding drawings of Hurricane parts though. Is that something you can help with/ Thanks, Ed
