I now decided to try either fabricating or finding something closely resembling trim wheels for the rudder and ailerons. I discovered that, of all things, the ends of Krazy glue caps fit perfectly within the dimensions of the trim wheels. Not only that, but they also have small serrated edges that come close to the ridges of the trim wheels themselves. These serrated edges are smaller than scale even for this size, but I'm not complaining and it really helps. One only needs to look very closely at the small caps on pictures where I cut then and the small serrated edges can be seen
Later on, I will be fabricating the small "ramp" that supports the aileron trim wheel and gives it that "canted" look.
So, hopefully you can see my approach to replicating the left side will also serve me in my attempts to duplicate the right side as well. From there, I will tackle the main instrument panel and all of the instruments.
However, I thin my biggest challenge will be to try replicating all of those small stencils that surround the cockpit area. I believe this will truly make a difference. This is something new to me and it'll be my first attempt to add such small detailing at the level.
