RC SCALE:
Ziroli (carbon fiber skin) P38 Lightning with 114 inch wing span is about 1/5 scale.
Lindinger P38 Lightning with 85.9 inch wing span is about 1/7 scale.
Measure the instrument panel space width of your aircraft. The fuselage of most RC aircraft seem to be a little fat, adjust cockpit panels to fit.
FINE SCALE:
Print LIFE SIZE PNG file onto 35mm (24x36mm, about 1½ inches wide) slide film.
A 35 inch wide panel printed full frame = about 1/24 scale, 2/3 frame = about 1/32 scale, and ½ frame = about 1/48 scale. Hi-white the back and install. The detail is there, but you’ll need a magnifier to see it.
Use this ratio to tailor panel fit:
Gillows (original) P38J in 1/18 scale.
Trumpeter P38L in 1/32 scale.
Fine scale models tend to have thicker scale skin. Adjust accordingly.
FLIGHT SIMULATORS: LIFE SIZE analog gauge backgrounds designed to work with Flight Simulators
