Just a thought!

Cheers.

Hi Alex,
I sent you a PM regarding the panels. Thanks for the offer.
What GLB panels do you have as I will gladly take them off your hands for a "small fee". ;)

A few more progress photos.
I have removed the throttle ready to give it a good overhaul. I will attach the saitek throttle I already have to it somehow. I don't think it will be too difficult.
I was surpised how easily it came out, just 4 bolts, I was expecting to spend all afternoon shouting and swearing but 30 minutes later it was on my bench.
I have also got a good buy off Ebay for a load of 737 stuff, which I will make fit with the use of an angle grinder.
So it is all coming together nicely. The only problem is I put the plane in the garage the wrong way round. The nose is facing the door, when I want it to face the wall for when I sort out the visuals. DOH!!!

Another few photos showing my progress.
I am VERY pleased and it is turning out much better than I expected considering I am cramming a 737 into a business jet shell.

Looking quite cool. Great work.
