                        Dash gauge decals?
                        Posted by oortiz10 on Thursday, April 7, 2011 1:30 PM

                        Hey car nuts,

                        I'm an aircraft builder, but I'm writing for my brother.  He recently got back into modeling with a 1/25 big rig.  We were wondering if there are any decals for dash gauges.  I know that several manufacturers make instrument faces for aircraft instrument panels, so I'd figure with the popularity of scale auto modeling, that there'd be something similar out there.

                        Can anyone help me out?

                        Thanks in advance,

                        -O

                        Hi Omar,

                            Try "Model Car Garage.com", they have a bunch of gauge housings and faces for 1/24 & 1/25.

                            Hope this helps. You'll probably get some more ideas from the guys here. Good luck.

                        I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

                        The problem is that most of these gauge faces are for aftermarket gauges- Stewart-Warner and such. I don't know of anyone that offers decals for factory instruments.

                        Thanks for that Don, but my bro isn't necessarily going for accuracy.  I think he's just going more for the "look."

                        Cheers!
