Have you been asked to make switches? Maybe a collection of swithches as used in the various cokpits. I was looking at my W.12 switches and then at ones guys have made with wire and then thought about your valve handles etc and voila my question popped up. So what do you think?

Thanks James!
It's good idea. I'm waiting on my W12, and will see, how it can looks like. Of course any pix are welcome :)

Are we talking about magneto ground swithes? Sounds like a great idea! You can find them everywhere on dashboards or sitting around the cockpit.

Here are some photos found on the net.



and a double one

I found this for a Fokker DVII online

And this one

The switch handle for all the WNW kits so far is a blob type thing that looks okay, but the switch handles seen here stand proud of the IP and have an interesting shape. I think it wouold be almost the same for all a/c. Those are the things I was wondering about althjough I wouldnt mind some switches like the two pictured in the previous answer also.

also a good german switch, it is in every german plane, wnw kit parts o.k

like this:http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/instrumente-englisch/katalog%201WK/Katalogmenue/web/new%20site/frames2/KatalogMenue.htm

also you will love this site :http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/instrumente-englisch/katalog%201WK/Katalogmenue/web/new%20site/frames2/KatalogMenue.htm

Scott -- both links you posted are the same (the site uses frames(!) [extremely outdated web technology]

Curious which switch you are referring to... I am guessing the mag selector maybe? If so I concur! We need an upgrade:)

thats exactly what i meant bo(zundschalter switch). preferably in 2 pieces so you can hang it on a scale chain or insert the key into the hole as its usually seen.

THANKS!!!
This switches will be done - I like such things :)

:)Lukasz, now you need to think of something to Felixstowe.

Miecio!
I've just bought Felixtowe and W29 duelist. This time I'm gonna do this model - my wife gave me a choice: during Christmas I start REAL model (not something looking like a pinhead!!) or we going for holidays >:(. So time for a real model (felixtowe or rather H-B W29) and a lot of aftermarkets for them :)

All the best, Lukasz
