I have run out of compliments. That is so clean, squared and perfect looking. 
Thanks guys!
Next are steering brake levers
The rod itself I made from office fastener
Bugs:
detail 183 must be marked as count 2 and not one

Thanks
Built driver's seat.
The frame made from two sizes of solder wire
Glued parts 188a and 189a on 1.5mm cardboard and not 0.5mm, as suggested
This gave me more easy way to glue the skin on
And seat installed at it's place
Errors:
None

Front plate with all the stuff: instrument panel, radio set and couple of shelfs
For gauges glass imitation i used some thin plastic from old package
Assembled all together
Glued in place
Errors:
Gluing mark on detail 191 for detail 195 (radio set rack) must be full white and not frame. It confuses which side of rack to stick

It's time for hull's upper part
Starting from a frame
This one has a lot of angled sides, so designer gave support structure to glue all sides with right angles
On the left is the support structure, on the right is the hull part
Most of the parts must be cut with angled edges
In a matter of fact, it's really helped, and I connected all sides with ease
Also tried dry fit upper plate
Last part glued without support structure and frame of upper hull is ready
Errors:
there are some mistakes with left /right sides on parts K11, K13 and K15. So, you need to pay attention when assembling all together

Little progress with upper hull part
I glued inner skins by perimeter and attached the part to main hull
Connected with no issues

None

Continue with visors mechanisms
Three of a kind
The front visor was a tricky one, but i doubt that i will play with those, though they are working and can be open
Errors:
Part 210 must be glued on 0.5 cardboard, but asterisk is missing.
Assembled part 226 does not fit correctly with part 219 - openings for visor position to wide
