KA-50 4-way switches and buttons?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the name (or, better, a part number) for the 4-way toggle switches used in the Ka-50 and Mi-8? They are used for the Ka-50 engine start selector (up = APU, lower left = left engine, lower right = right engine) and some cockpit brightness controls on the right side wall. Believe the Mi-8 also uses the same or a very similar switch for the same purpose on the engine startup panel, at least. I'd love to replicate these for some cockpit panels I'm CAD-ing up, and it's probably easier to just buy the thing rather than trying to figure out and then implement the mechanism.

 

 

 

While we're at it, how about the backlit+indicator light switches on the Ka-50's targeting panel and datalink panel? My current plan is to use Cherry MX switches+LED and 3d-printed keycaps with light guides for the indicators, which is cheap and easy, but it'd be cool to get the backlit key legends as well..
