Great!

Wanted to say too - a quick-fix for internal rigging is to rule lines with one of those lead pencils used in tech. drawing (where you push the end of the pen for the solid lead to come out -can't remember the name in English!). For the more visible areas in immediate cockpit/ gunners positions, very thin stretched sprue works a treat.
