ChuckT Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I have Airscale's "early allied jets" Instrument decal sheet (in 1/32 scale) on order for scratch building a panel, but I would like to get rolling on making the actual panel while I wait for the decals to arrive. Can anyone tell me what sizes holes correspond to the various sized instrument decals found on this sheet? Thanks, Chuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 The dials are as small as 1.5 mm, many are 2.25 mm and some big ones are 3 mm. (Based on rack of the eye and digital calipers) I would advise waiting and just pencilling in what goes where for now. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckT Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks Tony. I'll wait (unless Peter gets back to me with precise measurements). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hi Chuck - didn't realise you asked here too I am afraid they vary - the largest at 3.1mm & the smallest down to 1.5mm - Unfortunately, I have no way to tell you what dial goes where on your panel and therefore what size would be appropriateThey have been sent so should be with you soon Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckT Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I was just wondering if you knew what size hole your smallest instrument uses, what size the medium uses, large, extra large...? Kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Chuck, I use Airscale decals with pretty well every model that I have made lately. The best way to go about it is to work out which instrument you want to go where, and then find a punch that matches its diameter as close as possible. Punch the hole in the panel and then use the same punch to punch the instrument from the decal sheet. Hope that helps. Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckT Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks guys for all the input. I guess I wasn't very clear in my request. I was just wondering if anyone knew what size of punches (or drills) match up with the various airscale instrument decals. For example, the smallest instrument decal matches up with a 1.5mm punch, the medium one with a 2mm punch and so on. Peter did get back to me and said the decals I ordered are on the way, but I was just hoping to get the ball rolling early IF someone new the correct sizes. I guess I'll have to work on something else in the mean time. Thanks anyway, Chuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
