F16 JFS Panel

This is a 1:1 scale replica of the F-16C Viper’s Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) panel. I modeled this directly from real-world dimensions to make sure it fits perfectly into any standard F-16 left console build.

Unlike other versions that use a separate light plate and backplate, I’ve designed this as a single integrated plate to keep the profile slim and the assembly easy.

Features:

• True 1:1 Dimensions: No guessing or scaling needed; it’s the exact size of the real aircraft panel.
• Integrated Design: One single piece for easier mounting and a cleaner look in your pit.
• Hardware Ready: Pre-sized holes for a standard 3-way toggle switch (Start 1 / Off / Start 2) and the JFS indicator lights.
• Text Quality: The labels are engraved deep enough that you can either paint-fill them or use a filament swap/MMU to make the text pop for backlighting.

Printing Tips:

• Nozzle: Use a 0.2mm nozzle if you can—the text on the JFS panel is pretty small, and a 0.4mm might smudge the "START" labels.
• Resolution: 0.1mm layer height for the face of the panel to get the cleanest finish.
• Backlighting: If you want it to glow, print the first few layers in translucent white and then swap to black for the rest.

If you're building a Viper pit for DCS or BMS, this is exactly what you need to get the engine start sequence feeling right.
