Nice looking engine Alberto. Even though I have a magnifying lamp, I purchased a magnifying visor just recently and what a big difference. It's in Post#13924 in the Recent Purchases section.

Close-ups are brutal but you've done well Alberto.

Many thanks for all nice comments.
I have a seoond set of dials decals, so I can try to rectify at least some of them, but before I will look for a visor similar to the one purchased by furbar.

It is a very good job, not all bring magnifying glass when admire.

Sigo pendiente de lo que sigue!!

In order to retry with new dials, hopefully correctly positioned, I laid down a drop of black paint to cover the wrong dials.
Also added some yellow paint on wiring.
I still have to sort-out the issue with the magnifier.

Managed to improve dial position, this is the outcome:
To obtained the above I coupled together two magnifying lens, probably not the best solution but worked well enough.
Now I can progress, if my grandchildren permit.

After some time I managed to add some more details to the cockpit:
Safety belts from HGW
and rudder pedals:
Again, macro photos shows nasty marks where belts are hinged to the cockpit, I need to tray to improve that area in some ways.
Some more will follow, soon or later.

Nicely done Alberto !
I have some HGW 'Sutton' harnesses for my 1/32nd scale Spitfire MkVb, which look rather good, but whether my hands will work well enough to thread the belts through the buckles has yet to be seen !!

Felicidades Alberto, un abrazo.
