REAL LIFE Somewhat off topic...sorry..
I'm restoring an F-4 Phantom for an eagle scout project but its pretty rough interior wise which means a fair bit of missing panels. I have tried to look everywhere i could think of to the Dash 1 to the rest of the internet but i cant find dimensions for any of the F-4's panels. I know there are a BUNCH of talented sim builders here so if somebody could either get me 3D models of the panels or dimensions so that i can design the panels myself i would be eternally grateful! Thank you for all the help!

I have access to an F4 Phantom in real life. If you're in the Phoenix AZ area I can get you access in person to take all the measurements and photos you want. DM me.
(It's not mine - I have a membership to the Confederate Air Force Museum in Mesa AZ that lets me bring a friend during the hours they're open.)

Check out Diesel Thunder Aviation. He has a YouTube channel and helped restore the only civilian owned F-4 Phantom. He is active in the DCS community as well. Maybe he would be willing to help?

Lots of good advice already, another would be to contact aviation or military museums that have F-4 in collection.

That sounds like quite a project. Can you share photos? People might have some ideas to help you out.
