That looks great! I also painted and added the pilot because of the sparse cockpit detail. I didn't add anything behind him though as nothing can really be seen once the fuselage is all closed up and the canopy is on.

Owl you have paint on your bare fingers and a loose xacto!

Great work on sorting out that interior Owl - I like how you added the straps from the figure to the seat - that was a nice touch.
