Yes, I have noticed that you bought the Eduard set later. But I didn't want to remove the part of my post as it can come in handy for other guys.

Started working on this one as well.
First, while I was producing the decals I needed for my Dewoitine D.520 model, I also did the French decals for the Arado in case I will stay with the idea of plane on board of the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran
Then put my hands on the cockpit parts, as you can see here following:
More to follow soon

Hi Alberto Looking good so far it's a great model to build with some fantastic detail,when I built mine a few years back I sprayed the interior RLM2 and added some ribbing to the fuselage walls using thin strips of Tamiya tape over spraying with a light coat of black. Check out my build and finished photos http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/your-completed-kits/revell-1-32-arado-196-a-34981.html

Many thanks Vaughan for your comment and thanks for the link to your very nice built, it will be an inspiration for me.
In facts I painted mine in Gunze H70 RLM02 but it's not clearly visible due to the bad lighting of my pictures.
I also added some ribs inside the fuselage
and sprayed with RLM02, again it looks grey due to the bad light.
About the dashboard I'm ready with the p.e. supplied by Eduard: it's very well detailed but I'm still considering to use the one supplied with the kit which has a better relief.
In this case I will use Luftwaffe instrument dials decals supplied by MDC.

Hi,
some small steps forward on this build.
I completed the pilot seat, but no seat belts yet ...
Also assembled the engine.
As you may have noticed, I wanted to add leads going from spark-plug to ...this is the question! Does anybody have picture showing where those leads have to be connected?
For instance in this picture concerning Fiat A-74 engine, you can clearly see that those leads are all going to an annular collector:
But so far I found nothing on the BMW 132.
Many thanks in advance for any help
Alberto
By the way, RLM02 colour in my pictures looks grey, I need to study my camera to understand why because, for instance in this picture you can see the correct RLM02 colour:

A few more shots to see if sunlight helps capturing the right colour shade...
not really, I must understand why.
By the way, no suggestions so far on the spark-plug leads, I think that I will have to use some "artistic licence"
