Making the compass that will be the center piece of the instrument panel. Memo to all: its one of those "wish I knew then moments" but Mr. John Brantley who makes custom decals for us modelers will also gladly make custom decals for instruments for any particular aircraft as well.

At first, I tried to simply cut out the instruments from those published online. Discovered they were all fuzzy and out of focus.
