Heinkel He 111 simpit

[hegykc]

Hi everyone!

I'm making a He 111 simpit. The plan is to make every lever, handle and button modeled in CLOD, except for the ones on gauges and the gauges themselves.

I'll be making the steering column and the rudder pedals too.

Almost all of the control panel parts will be made by laser cutting sheets of mdf (wood), to keep the cost to a minimum.
After proof of concept I'll be making some parts out of metal for durability.

I have all the switches, potentiometers, rotary encoders, hall sensors, buttons and the Leo Bodnar's BU0836X controller ready. Just need to finish the CAD drawings for the laser cutter and I'll be ready for the build.

But I have a hard time finding reference pictures, especially the lettering on the controls. If anyone could help me with those I'd be very grateful.
And I cannot seem to locate the autopilot modes switch in the cockpit.

Also, I would like to make a model of the bomb sight controls. So in order to speed things up, if anyone could tell me the model used in He 111, and point me to some reference pictures that would be great.

I also plan on making this kind of simpit for every airplane in CLOD.
Wanted to do a spitfire or the 109 but that's been already done so I'm going with something more unusual first...

Here are some early pictures of the modules for the left control panel and one of a stick and pedals I'm making for a friend:
