Hiya, as my Pilatus B4 decided to open it's canopy and eject the binacle/console at Sherlowe, can anyone tell me where to find something to replace it - I'm sure there are people that make them, either as kits or finished items - it's the KV B4, 1:3,3 scale I think.
Unless anyone found mine by any chance...
Cheers, Ell.

Sorry for your loss Ell. That's me trying to
console you.
Sorry, you've probably heard that one B4....
Are these any good?

Rog, thanks for that, you big silly!
I've found these so far:

Propagteam seems to be the source, there's also a guy on Facebook called Brian Hoddy I think, but this might be a little OTT...
Interestingly, a side opening canopy is an incredibly effective airbrake...

There is a chap in Bristol that does some very good 3D printed instrument panels! I think his name is Cliff Evans

I did this one for a 1/3 scale B4 £35 including postage. Can have one done and ready in a couple of days.

ooh, yes please! My glider is 1:3.3, not sure if that will fit as is, I'll check in the morning and get back to you. Do you have a dimension from side to side?
Thanks again, Ell.

165mm. I can scale to suit. Just had some orders in so may be a little longer than two days. Will not be long though. Just let me know the width required.
