Over 500 shuttle engineering drawings were referenced to detail this forward half of the flight deck. These are the same drawings used in building the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The panels were machined on a computer controlled milling machine, giving them exactly the same dimensions as the actual panels.

The consoles mount 65 panel overlays with illuminated nomenclature and switch cutouts, just as the actual panels.

• 466 toggle switches
