My thanks to Roberto for selling me the parking brake handle and switch for my G737 V1.
I built everything in a throttlebay to fit between my CDU bay and pedestal.

Hope you like it :mrgreen:

Looks fantastic! That's exactly what I'm picturing of making when my V2 throttle shows up and I pick up a O/C FMC. Are the trim wheels operational? I may try to make mine.

What did you use for the lower EICAS screen?

The trim wheels are not movable.. just as detail.
I have bought a small LCD screen for lower EICAS on Ebay in China.

Don't laugh :mrgreen: but the trim wheels are painted kitchen choppin blocks.

I used MDF (12mm and 15mm) for all my builts.
All paint have been applied with a roller. Paint is Flexa Creations (mixed in RAL7011 and 7038 ).

What did you use for the decals on the throttle handles, or did your throttle come like that? My V2 doesn't have anything.

Thats correct, But I really missed them so I searched for decals.

Eventually I found the decals in Italy :

Ooo.. I'll have to send him an email. Do you happen to have a side shot of the bay? I want to build something just like this but trying to determine how much should go between the front of the throttle and the angle section for the FMC/EICAS.

Hi Nolatron,

Sorry for the late answer. Unforgently I do not have any more pictures when it was not built in yet.
This is how it looks now.

I like how you've managed to merge the cockpit into a smaller space, looks great!
