Can you do one for fuel too (as fitted in the Hawker Hurricane)? If you could also make that fuel gauge selector switch (none in existence unless fitted to the real thing) I will buy all three!

I forgot to add the fuel switch. Thanks.

Yep can do all three..The fuel selector I,m not sure is same size as the deicer tap on spitfires so if anyone has some measurements i can do it
Pressure gauge for the fuel will be no worries.Also can do the rear body for both pressure gauges..

So far..

Hey that's great.

The fuel switch looks straight. Doesn't go off at an angle. But the more I look at the pic of the real one, the more I think it could quite actually have the kink in it! Are there any rivet counters that could confirm?

The real one looks a lot bigger than is modelled in Cliffs of Dover. But is obviously correct.

Thanks.

Thanks Sokol I have a deicer tap here somewhere which the design is off but am sure someone told me the fuel tap is slightly larger.Just need to confirm if it is.My memory isn,t the best after cramming 10 years of parts into it

Some more British stuff on the way..

For WW1 Tommy Fighters is the early version of the Turn and Bank indicator.

Thanks for doing this stuff RAAFSpitty.

Thought you might like to see one of your creations put to use.

I re-vamped my own Hawker Hurricane fuel tank selector switch. This is a 3-position click switch that has been bastardised to allow your switch to replace the original.

My plates are knocked up in MS Publisher. Not the real thing, but they do the job.

Keep up the great work with the parts.

RAAFSpitty.

Humble request. Any chance you could knock up the Automatic Boost Cutout switch?

Can do that..

Now up

Strewth Spitty. That was quick.

Don't know if you need the following to refine the "tit" (not being rude, its what the Pilots called the red pull switch) you have already done?

Can you do the backplate as well? As can be seen on one photo, it was actually mounted on to a square plate. This in turn was screwed over an instrument "hole" in the instrument panel.

This is all I have. Maybe Sokol1 might have some pics?








Will order if you can do the backplate as well? Need to buy the rudder trim wheel while I'm at it.

Cheers Blue

Poly count isn,t an issue with Shapeways just file size and wall thickness plus the "bounding box",physical size.Yes STL is what I upload the file is,making sure I tick the correct unit of measurement.Its free to join Shapeways and setup your own shop.
I primarily use BrisCAD for 2D work and for 3D I use ProDesktop.

Hahahaha yeah I,m an impatient wretch so try and get stuff done quickly if I can.Looks like I have to reduce the edge chamfer and yep I can do the back plate as well.Was hard finding a good side view of the button so had to wing it a bit.This is what I used.

From the Shapeways forum..

Yes Poly count climbs when you round off edges and corners..Download Blender which is a free 3D program as its pretty versatile in what file objects it can import/export.I,m trying to learn it at the moment as its totally different to what I,m used to.

For Brits,the standard 3 way switch and knob.Used in Mosquitos as the landing light switch.
