Everything is looking great! However, have you already closed the "cockpit" of the Dauntless inside? Because your back seat should be facing the rear of the plane since the rear gunner sat there facing aft.

Looking forward to seeing more.

The gunners seat was set in a ring mount. It could rotate around on the ring.

Thanks for clarification on the rear seat. I didn't know it could swivel.

Looking forward to seeing more.
