Perhaps a thread of your fine collection and again if you feel like it how you got it and what you had to do to make it so good.

Rear panel from SR-71. Needless to say, instruments are a bit tough to source! Been working on this one for about 15 years now

Navigation panel from a Soyuz

Another F-4 I'm working on

 

[Snautzer01]

Again wow. I do not say that often let alone write.

This is an F-4S that I have to restore properly. The missile panel from this, is going to go into the J model, I have the proper panel for the S, I just have to find it again!

This the flight engineer panel from a B-29 I am restoring. The cabinet came from one aircraft (one of the China Lake B-29's) while the panel itself came from a scrapped plane out of DM.

And thats it....
You do need a thread of these gems. Its far..far beyond the op questions. These are great pieces and i would like to know how you collected and how and when and stories of making these complete. Must not have been easy.
