In the absence of any real panels for my AV-8B cockpit project, I’m looking into having replica panels made. These would be very accurate back lit panels, but I need some dimensions please if anyone has any panels they could measure up. I already have the flight manual, so I can work out quite a bit from that, but if I had some confirmed dimensions, it would give me a reference point to start from.
Also I need the dimensions of the throttle quadrant please.
Any detailed pictures would also be helpful.
Thanks, Dean

Any news on console panels please? Even if it’s only pictures/dimensions of 1 or 2 panels, we can use them as a datum for the remaining ones.
I thought that I’d found an ACNIP panel in the states, but got beaten to it.
Oh, still looking for a nosecone too.
Cheers, Dean

I’m just about to post the dimensions for the cockpit external panels to someone else on the forum
giv us a list of what panels you need measurement, i’m assuming it’s console panels

The throttle quadrant has gone, just empty side panels, but the instrument and MFD panels are still in place, and possibly some of the lower panels.
I will PM you with pics of another AV-8B with more bits in it, again give me a few days.

Thanks for that. I’ve got the side consoles in my cockpit, so don’t need those measurements, but certainly the throttle quadrant length and any panel sizes to give me a reference would be a great help. And of course close up photos would be nice.
Cheers, Dean
