Random Pics Of My GA Build

There is no circuit board in this faceplate. One more thing I'm going to add is redo the legends and use glow in the dark paint so it looks like the legends are backlit.

It looks like I'm going to add a landing gear switch with the SP project. Should I call I call it 172SPRG ?

At first I was just going to use some plain ol' indicator lights on the panel but it didn't look appealing enough.



By adding bezels around the indicator lights , the entire panel looks more authentic. As for now they do not have the shutter-dimmer and push to test features. I will be adding them later on.

I'm getting there!

This project is the toughest one so far. In order to keep it at 1:1 scale I have to use SMT components.

*update* Size of the faceplate is 6.25in x 2.85 (the actual size of the 430 face is 6.25 x 2.65)
