Looks great Shawn, well done !

I have this in the stash in the Royal Class 110 boxing, any tips for me for when I get stuck into it?

Cheers, D

D, the kits a cake walk to assemble!
Some notes:
The clear lenses have a right and wrong side that fits into the instrument bezel.

Dont forget to check for fuzz and hair before you seal up a gauge!

The PE in this kit is excellent, the perfect thickness to work with.

What I have painted as green, should be blue on the trim rings.

For the levers on the left, open the hole to form a notch so that you can slide them into the quadrant when your done, otherwise they get in the way.

Have fun with it!

you're correct, it should have blue ontop, black on the bottom.
However, if the aircraft were on the ground, in a nose high attitude, it may only show blue.

i wish Robby!
Sadly none such beast exists and Im pretty sure my wife would leave me if it did...or I'd sleep in it.
I do however have a 1/32 '110 project that is going to replace my Revell 1/32 '110 project.

I think that's the most convincing build of that kit that I've seen. Anyone seeing an uncaptioned picture of it would certainly think they were looking at a 1:1 instrument panel taken from a real 110. Great work!

Cheers Andy, you'll enjoy it.
I altered the needle placement on some of the gauges to give it some life and make it less uniform.
Have fun with it! Since there are few real ones to compare to, you can get creative.
