Used some "O" sized rivet decals also from MicroMark on the window framing. The original S.E. 5's instrument panel was located so far back deep within the recesses of the cockpit, the builders decided to cut out a window to allow sunlight shine through so the pilot could see the instruments.

Also used the hinges for the top fuselage hatch.

To get the desired hinge type and scale, I had to first use a pair of dice (cutting pliers) then followed up with small modeling files.

Blue Jacket also produces small hinges. These are the smallest they have. You can easily compare the sizes. I may use them for a larger scale model someday

You can see their scale from comparing my finger and tweezers. Very inexpensive

Finished results. The small indentations, are from my previous attempts using rub-off letters without much success. With the self-adhesive letters, the small dents are barely noticeable. The engine cover was already glued in place. So that precluded any chance of redoing the whole cover. Stuff happens....

I carefully laid down the "holed" letters onto a sheet of paper. Using a rattle can of Temiaya Olive Drab, I sprayed the letters. After they were dried, I carefully lifted them off the sheet. Because they're self-adhesive, I simply stuck them into place. No glues, no mess. I could even relocate them into their final place, if necessary

Used a "T" pin to poke a hole

Obtained some self-stick vinyl letters from a local arts and crafts store. Pulled out the "O" from the centers of the letters "b." Seemed to be about the right size.

Going to replicate the small hatches holding down the engine cover

Also managed to slip in the forward cabane strut bracket
