Hi, everyone! :) I recently ordered a MD80 panel and glareshield from the Airline Pilot's Historical Socity, And for a few weeks I've been on the web tracking to see if I can find a MD80 Fire panel! I have not seen one for sale, or any mention of it on the internet. Wondering if anyone knows where to get one, or build one from scratch. Thanks! I included what it looks like in the attachments.

Fire panel was designed with complete push/pull mechanism, lighted up handles and switches inside. All is working in two cockpits in Italy.

Thanks skalarki.., looks great! Anyway I could buy this from you, I also need the top of the panel that goes with the fire panel.. Anyway you could custom build it for me? They could just be dummy gauges ( fire panel ) thanks!

Don“t forget that the fire levers are mechanically linked to the crossbleed levers on aft pedestall! They work like that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PozFL1FkZhY (when you pull the fire lever, the crossbleed closes).
If you are looking for parts you can ask also at http://www.md80project.dk/portal/ which is a great resource for us, DC9/MD80 builders :)

Hello, I was reading your posts and very helpful. Ive been flight sim'n for about 15 years, now I'm taking the hobby to the next level to do a home build. My favorite aircraft is the DC-9/MD-80 platform and that's what I want to build. Im starting with the overhead panel with levels of plexiglass and switches and have Bodnar BU0836X board on order. I love the work you've done and any help or tips for rookie hobbyist would be great. Thanks

Boneyard2You and Ebay sometimes have things you could be looking for. Check them occasionally.
It seems that you've already been using oncealoft.com, they usually have MD-80 parts, especially instruments.

Yea, I emailed the Boneayrd2you place, they didn't have it in stock.. Wonder why this piece is so hard to find.
