Starting to paint the pilot, noticing a fit issue. Anyone have any ideas on how to improve?

The pilot's hand has a yoke in it, but there is another on the floor, and they don't line up. May need to fabricate something.

I haven't attached the engine pices, since I plan to paint these separate from the body.

First coat was very poor coverage, this is probably the worst spot

Finally done. Might repaint the base from grey to black next time I have the airbrush loaded, but otherwise, I think I can call this one complete.
