Hi Tim, I made them using CorelDraw X3. If you send me a pic of your panel I'll try to re-draw at vectors, save it for you at

.pdf file and give it back to you and you can print the file over decal paper :)

Oh and of course you must give me the sizes at 1/35-32 scale. No problem my friend.

 

Well Joel we've got only six of this birds painted white and blue and if I had six revel kits I would build all of them :)

But we've got and a great MI-24 that I have plans to build in the near future ;)

Thanks buddy :)

Sir, do you have access to the real aircraft?  something isnt sitting right with me and those seats....ours were more basic.  Pilots seat was a nomex mesh stretched tight on a removable (designed to crumple in a crash) seat frame.  back seats were nothing more than an OD green nomex cushion......Ill look for pictures if you want.....other than that, its fantastic!

Those seats are the same, just like Martin's first picture at his post :)

Maybe when I paint them they will look like as the real things :)

 

Once again thank you friends and your comments are always welcome :)

Here's a TH-67 cockpit. It's the US Army's version of the Bell Jet Ranger.

I guess what I remember and what you are showing me are the difference between a combat aircraft (that I'm thinking about) and a VIP or training aircraft

 

Ours had a tube frame and the seat was nomex mesh stretched over it.  It was a pain to re-string the seat every 150 hours, but the nomex mesh (almost like a net) would stretch just enough to go out of spec.....so out with the safety wire and 550 cord 

 

these seats look way more comfortable than what I sat on; continue on good sir!

Yes Dan, our 206's  used for VIP and training young pilots :)

I must find one photo - with this Bell /01/ our Santa Claus arrives at the air field to give some Christmas presents to the kids :)

 

And also the rear part of interior is done:

And start to shape the glass-frames of rear windows/rear doors/ :
