Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

[dhal22]

I fretted about this for a day or 2 and eventually tried an idea. Actually my solution was pretty easy. No way could I overlap this window, the windshield and surface mount everything. So with a Dremel i just free handed a groove in the window pillar and recessed the side window. Better I think.

Nice

After my I screwed the little metal strip to the bottom of the side window it fit perfectly.

A test gage screw. I'm not exactly scale anywhere on my free hand work.

Why mess around, make a pattern of the outline of your dash and drawing of what you want or a photo of the full scale you like and send it off to SAC. That's my 33% Champ dash on their site. Their dashes are about 3/16" thick so make your boot cowl after you get the dash. See how the aluminum overlaps the dash below. Tell them I sent you!
For the Champ I sent them a photo from the three view and they duplicated it.

I emailed SAC and no response. I guess I will call. Based upon your provided drawings and the cheap screws snapping every other screw I will need to redo my dashboard or get one made.

Sorry!

They responded!. Estimation of between 75 and $150 is wonderful. I am mailing them a template in the morning. Thank you Tony.
