Thanks guys, and thanks Terry, some helpful pictures there, especially of the overhead panel. I started fabricating the navigator's seat, a curved back bucket as suggested by Terry. Pictures tonight when its done.
 
Finished the navigator's seat and added some wire to the cockpit side walls. also a pic of the finished control panel.

Glenn, from what I remember, and having seen similar seats, the Nav's seat was more like this.
BUT! I'm only going off memory of the film footage and, although I think I have a photo somewhere, I haven't been able to find any proof yet. Lacking evidence, either style would suffice.
(Apologies fro the rough sketch!).

Thanks for the info Terry. My seat is a bit too high in the back, but at this point it's too late to change it. I finished everything up inside and closed it up. The fit was better than I expected but I'll probably lose a lot of the rivet detail on the top and bottom when I smooth out the joint.
That's it until next week. I'll be gone for the holiday. Thanks for looking in everyone and happy 4th !
