Airframe: In a word, yes! The instrument faces can definitely be scanned and reduced to scale. At the time, my scanner didn't have the ability to reduce those large dials down to something close to just 1/4" in diameter. Thus, what you see is a kind of "bluish" haze across the face. I'm not sure why, but as you saw from my previous [postings, the dials themselves were made either with a black background or white. Why the blue? Have no idea. I used both methods and they equally work with good success. It just depends on one's preference. I've used both. Neither method is more complicated than the other. The use of films only dictates that I go to the photo-store and wait for the development results. Since I go shopping (for groceries, clothes, etc.) anyway, I just drop the film off and pick up the results when finished shopping. When using a scanner, be sure to use glossy finished paper. That way, the instrument faces will come out very crisp and clear, not like a Xeroxed copy. Thank you for asking!
