That seat shows great patience and attention to detail H. Well done.

As to the cushion if there was one, there are several methods. Some might use Milliput which is a putty that hardens and that you can mold to the shape you want. I have not found that product where I live. Another way is to just fold and glue some paper to the shape you want. Or you can use plastic card.
 
Should be a nice example when you are done Harrison always liked the shape of the DO-17 and the HC usually fit together well enough.Cheers
 
As far as I know, the Dornier pilot used a seat-type chute like the one you posted, which he sat on. The oother crew members used chest-mounted 'chutes, which were stored in racks in the cockpit unless needed, when they were clipped to the harness, worn all the time. Some other aircraft types, the pilot wore a back-pack chute, I think the heinkel being one of them. The seat would not have a cushion if a seat-type 'chute was used, although the seat back might have had a brown leather padding, like Wayne's Ju88.
