Leavers Jan, usually pull or twist, and it's up to you if you want to place them, there fiddly bast@rds to play with but with a blob of red or yellow on them, they look good.
 
The PE 30 parts are the emergency releases and handles Jan. See attached drawing and photos (D-9 instrument panels)

Note that the lower one is in the wrong place on the instructions - it's the manual undercarriage lowering handle (item 15 on dwg)
The other two are nos.17 and 18 on the drawing, though there is a 19 which is absent on photos - I suspect no.18 worked both functions.

Descriptions:
15. Manual undercarriage lower handle
17. Emergency pull for peak engine power
18. Emergency release for wing ordinance
19. Emergency release for fueslage load.

 
Right....did a bit fiddling this morning (blasted etch!), should the 'stick' be all RLM 66 or is any part (top) of it black?

Pics shortly...I hope!
 


Some bl**dy fiddly bits that etch!




Almost done the cockpit, only a few bits to add....




Needed to top up on the red....




Added another wee piece of plastic...!




Just noticed that I forgot something....(foul language!)...!




As I was tooling around, I remembered seeing somewhere, that you need to work on these....




...to make them fit and the fuselage come together properly.




So, I sanded the bottom of these thinner....




Don't really agree with Eduard here, cutters are too thick to be able to cut them loose, a few sweaty seconds using the knife...




Thinned out and attached....




These also need to be enlarged slightly...




As you can see, still a snug fit!
 
Nice work Jan!

I have colour photos of Bauart KG 13B control column with grip and base (ie, ekectrical connection point) in black, though the cockpit pics I posted earlier show a lighter grip section (dark aluminium?) with black base (have a photo of KG 13A in these colours).
Can post pics tomorrow when camery batteries charged if interested.

(nice work on the releases btw!)
