Instrument Panel

Post by Uncle » 08 Jun 2014 02:07 pm

In search of a 343/345 Instrument Panel with or without guages, working or not.

Here's an image of what I'm looking for:

Thanks

Hello Uncle,

In response to your post.

a) That image is copyright me.
b) There be no instrument panels round these parts especially not for Star Wars props construction.

May I suggest that you obtain resin replicas of the frame(s) you require.

Good luck with the search.

You can buy resin replicas

No point ruining an increasingly rare item that people will need for it's intended purpose.

They are also used in the cock pit of the Millenium falcon. As the first film was made in 1977, how could they be from a 79-81 car?

I heard about this for the first time the other day. Kinda cool, quirky detail. Kudos to someone for figuring it out!

If you're interested in supply of these, you're more likely to find someone willing to undercut the 230 Euro offer for 8 copies than you are give up a rare-as-hell cluster for non-car usage. Most of these early cars, and their parts, were binned years ago.

cheers

I'm currently reproducing the 360 tunnel gauge pod with help of a Mate.
