A couple of small jobs got done today. I added some mesh to the engine exhaust port and painted it up. It'll get a drybrush coat of olive drab then I'll lightly sand some of to show the metal underneath.
The mesh is glued to the back panel of Gorman's console, which I'm keeping removable. That panel is very slim and prone to warping so I added a section of brass C channel at the bottom to keep it straight.
I also figured out how I can secure the gunner's position and driver's seat without gluing them in. I added small but powerful magnets to each, then securely glued two small squares of very thin steel sheet under their positions. The sheets are large enough that there's wiggle room if needed.
