Red face Plastic inst. panel cont....../Stunts

(I am doing this in 3 parts because I am having computer problems)

For the instrument faces I used Jtec scale instruments which I picked up at an RC stroe.They are 1/12th scale but can be reduced at the photocopy store to fit any scale.#JT-12 covers WW1, WW2 and modern aircraft faces as well as well as cars and boats.It also includes plastic rims if you want to use them.
I used Humbrol Clearfix to make mine.
In my next set of pics I will include pics of the Mercedes tow car.

Just for fun I have included a price list of stunts that barnstormers of the mid-20s charged Hollywood.

Crash ships(fly into trees ,houses etc..) $1,200
Loop with man on each wing standing up $450
Ship change (in midair) $100
Upside down change $500
Change -Car or motorcycle to airplane $150
Fight on upper wing,one man knocked off $225
Upside-down flying with man on landing gear $150
Head-on collision with automobiles $250
and last but not least
Blow up plane in mid-air,pilot chuts out $1,500
I wonder who supplied the plane
