So, I revised the part, but to accomodate the depth I had to make the part .7ml thicker than before which means the cockpit base will possibly have to be trimmed a little, or not. The pieces are printing now.

Well, I think my question "Can you tell the difference between 12k and 16k?" and the answer is "Yes". This piece is as small as my index fingernail. 14.9mm x 15.2mm x 2.15mm

The cockpit has formed up well and fairly easily. The PE parts are top notch and look fantastic. I need to "glass" the bezels and weather a little now. I tried to make little switches by drilling holes with a #80 bit and using .010 wire. Once the glue cures I will try snipping them shorter.I also tied a bit of string around the top of the canvas joystick cover.
Great idea with the switches.

A little oil weathering. Once it dries a bit I will lift some off. The 3D printed part worked out great!

Looks really good Greg! You should do some lessons on using your 3D program. As to the crystal thing. I have to put one together for you. Without being mounted on a block, it can be a problem to handle safely. ( have come close enough with it mounted and knowing how to scrape the old CA and stuff off)
