Remember that image I uploaded a couple of weeks ago?
(this one) http://www.simpits.org/fileproc/files/beacon-panel.jpg
This is one of the first Elite panels from Peter Cos and it *rocks*.
The panel is laser cut *and* face etched. The laser cuts away only the
paint layer in a method very similar to how "real" edge-lit panels are
built. The quality is just astonishing. As far as I'm concerned, this is
the Holy Grail of cockpit building.
As soon as I have a functioning computer again, (don't EVER buy a Gigabyte
motherboard!) I'm going to put up a series of pictures on my f15sim.com
site that shows all the post production steps and the installation of the
lamps.
Every one of the panels in the F-15 that I don't have already will be
Elite panels. They're *that* good.
