Computer Printable Instrument Faces
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 23, 2004 10:17 PM
OK -- turn on your brains!! I need help. All you "purists" just humor me:

I'm using a old F-86 interior in an effort to make the X-wing I have in progress something other than a snoozer -- I've never seen such a POOR cockpit. It will also be back lighted. My delima is being able to print quality images to place behind the bezels on the side panels. I'm using the photo-etched main panel from Eduard. For the side panels, I just have plane bezels without the instruments. Where can I find printable computer versions of the gauges? I plan to print them on clear acetate at very high ressolution -- but the originals must be high quality first!! Any help?

I guess you could scour the Internet for photos of F-86 / X-wing. Then scale them down through the use of Photoshop or some other image editor accordingly through trial and error on regular paper. As for quality, you're at the risk of the Internet.

1/48 scale Tamiya P-47 "Razorback" - Complete
1/48 scale Testors/Lone Star Models PT-22 Recruit - 20% Complete

Dear Sir,
You may be better off getting some of the WALDRON INSTRUMENTS in 1/48th or 1/32nd scale ( they are already printed on acetate film and with the correct punch set can be punched out perfectly round) most of the WALDRON SETS are very resonabley priced and all the work has been done for you.

best of luck,
