Very interesting. I was trying to branch out to film work. My Lynx is full and has all glazing out which helps with filming. My Hurri and one of the Hunters have been used for filming.

Heres me Jug panel. Brought it as a restored original that was populated by the previous owner. It had a some incorrect indicators so the hunt was on.
It took a few years to find the turbo-supercharger indicator. It’s a late war version but would have preferred to obtain an early one. It’ll do for now.

I am attempting to make a front cockpit of a Tornado GR1 as it would have been fitted out during the 1st Gulf war, I have a long way to go for it to be perfect and I have come to realise it will probably never be complete. the panels are not genuine, the left main panel is made from wood and the right one is made from cardboard! amd the whole front panel inclusing PMD and HUD is resting on top of a box. The left side console is also just a cardboard box! The throttles I recently discovered are from a F3 so not accurate but I will have to make do unless I ever manage to get hold of GR1 throttles (or GR4 if they are the same) a few of the instruments are also from F3 but I have discovered those particular ones are identical to GR1 so not a big issue there. I have quite a few parts which are not yet installed, such as the E-scope, Landing gear lever, flaps, slats Air/Br and wing poision indicator, 3 axes trim indicator, angle of attack indicator, g-meter, CWP, Brake pressure triple indicator, Magnetic standby compass, HUD camera controls, Engine controls, TFR controls, fuel managment panel, RWHR controls, Enviroment controls and Emergency UHF radio controls.
