I have a need to get some close-up images
of knobs and/or control panels of aircraft
to create my own rendering of a panel.

I'd like to overlay different knob types to
get a feel of how it will look.

Can anyone point me to a source or have any
help they can offer?

Thanks,

Gary Gilbert

There's a website that will let you build your panel online.
PanelBuilder is the name of the program, I believe.

The site Ernest is talking about is http://www.epanelbuilder.com/

I don't know if it will help the OP much, but it does have some very nice
images of exact instruments/radios/GPS's etc.

Hope it helps.

Be careful about searching for closeup pictures of knobs.
